replacing or adding a drive

The steps to replace or add a drive are the same for both the S0000 and 8000 series, except when you are replacing a diskette drive on the 8000 series, or the 7-In-1 memory card reader on the S0000 series.

If you are replacing a diskette drive on the 8000 series, before starting step 1 in the following instructions, you need to fit the diskette drive in a diskette drive adapter as described in “reassembling the diskette adapter” on page 6.

If you are replacing a 7-In-1 memory card reader, before starting step 1 in the following instructions, reassemble the reader in the drive bay adapter as described in step 7 of “removing a drive” on page 3.

If you are replacing or adding any other drive, begin with step 1 in the following instructions.

to replace or add a drive

1Install four guide screws on the sides of the drive (two on each side). The screws help guide the drive into its proper position in the bay.

•When replacing a drive on the S0000 and 8000 series, place the screws that you removed from the old drive in the new drive.

•When adding a second hard disk drive on the 8000 series, use the four extra guide screws that are attached to the chassis under the front bezel.
