4If the drive bay is covered by a metal EMI shield, insert your finger in the large hole in one end of the shield and pull the shield from the chassis. Save the shield.

5If the drive bay has an existing drive installed, remove the drive (see page 96) and remove the slide rails attached to the sides of the drive. Save the rails and screws.

6Remove the new drive from its protective wrapper and place it on an antistatic surface.

7Record the new drive model and serial numbers in your equipment log.

For a sample equipment log sheet, refer to page 195.

8Set any jumpers or switches on the new drive according to the drive manufacturer instructions.

9Attach a slide rail to each side of the drive using two mounting screws.

10Position the drive so the plastic slide rails engage the guide rails in the peripheral bay. Push the drive into the bay until the slide rails lock in place.

11Connect the signal and power cables to the drive. You can insert the keyed connectors only one way.

12Install the foam fan baffle, fan modules, and the front access panel.
