Installing a Secondary Hard Drive

The optional secondary hard drive mounts next to the primary hard drive on the hard drive tray (FIGURE 5). The secondary IDE cable assembly is used with the secondary hard drive. Use the following procedure to install the optional secondary hard drive.

1.Power off the system, remove the system cover, and attach an antistatic wrist strap as described in “Preparing to Replace Components” on page 2.

Caution – Use proper ESD grounding techniques when handling components. Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat. Store ESD-sensitive components in antistatic bags before placing them on any surface.

2.Lift the spring-loaded latch upward to release the hard drive tray from the chassis (FIGURE 5).

3.Pull the hard drive tray ejection lever away from the chassis.

4.Disconnect the existing hard drive IDE and power cables from the primary hard drive.

5.Slide the hard drive tray out of the chassis.

6.Place the new secondary hard drive onto the hard drive tray.

7.Turn the tray upside down on an antistatic mat.

Note – Before installing the hard drive into the system, verify that the drive’s back- panel mode-select jumper is set to “CS,” “Enable Cable Select,” or “Cable Select.”

8.Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, install the four screws that secure the drive to the hard drive tray.

9.While ensuring that the cables are not damaged, slide the hard drive tray into the chassis until the spring-loaded latch clicks into place.
