Note: The tinted screws in the previous illustration indicate the four low-profile screws that came with the computer. The untinted screws in the following illustration show the screws that come with the new drive.

Attach additional SCSI drives (1" or 1.6" high) to the two flat drive carriers by screwing them into position from the bottom.

Position the hard disk drive on the drive carrier so that the ribbon cable connector

and the power cord connector are accessible. Screw the drive into position with the four screws supplied with the drive.

When you replace the carrier and reconnect the drive cables

If your computer came with a SCSI hard disk drive installed in drive position 1, and you are installing a SCSI hard disk drive

in drive position 2 or 3, put the ribbon cable on top of the drives. You can tape the ribbon cable to the tops of the drives with double-stick foam tape to make the cable lie flat.

Make sure all of the power cord and ribbon cable connectors are firmly attached to all of the drives and to the PCI SCSI card.

The ribbon cable may attach to a different position on the PCI SCSI card, depending on the card you have.
