If you purchased a StoreJet2.5 (TS0GSJ25R/S/B) that does not have a Hard Disk Drive already installed, please read this section, otherwise you can skip to the “Driver Installation” section.

1.Open the StoreJet2.5 by removing the two screws from either side of the top cover, as indicated in the diagram.

3.It is IMPORTANT! to properly line up and then plug in the IDE connector pins on the hard drive to the adapter sockets. Do NOT force the pins into their sockets and do NOT insert the hard disk at an angle; otherwise, you may damage the IDE connector pins. If a pin on the hard drive gets bent, do not panic; simply straighten the pin gently using a pair of tweezers.
