Removing and Installing the Hard Drive—Small Desktop Computer

CAUTION: To avoid the possibility of electric shock, turn off the computer and any devices, disconnect them from electrical outlets, and then wait at least 5 seconds before you open the computer cover. Also, before you install a drive, see the other precautions in "Safety First—For You and Your Computer."

1.If you are replacing a hard drive that contains data you want to keep, be sure to make a backup of your files before you begin this procedure.

NOTE: For information on adding a SCSI drive, see the documentation that came with the drive and "SCSI Device Installation Guidelines."

NOTICE: Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the back of the computer.

NOTICE: When you unpack the drive, do not set it on a hard surface, which may damage the drive. Instead, set the drive on a surface such as a foam pad, that will sufficiently cushion it.

2.Unpack the drive, and prepare it for installation.

Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for your computer.

3.Open the computer cover.

4.Remove the plastic shroud covering the hard drive by pressing in on the indented tab at the top of the shroud and lifting the shroud away.
