Installing a Cabled Hard Drive

CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any components inside the system. Before performing any procedure, see your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.

NOTICE: Combining SATA and SAS hard drives in the same system configuration is not supported.

1Unpack the hard drive and prepare it for installation.

2Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and from the peripherals.

3Remove the system cover (see "Removing the System Cover" on page 66).

4Remove the existing hard drive, if applicable (see "Removing a Cabled Hard Drive" on page 80).

If there is a hard drive bracket in the empty hard drive bay, press in on the blue tabs on each side of the bracket and slide the bracket up and out of the system. (see Figure 3-13).

5Snap the hard drive bracket onto the hard drive (see Figure 3-14).

If the hard drive you are installing does not have a hard drive bracket, remove the bracket from the old drive. To remove the hard drive, spread the sides of the hard-drive bracket outward and lift the drive from the bracket (see Figure 3-14).
