7. Reinstall the hard-disk drive bracket in the chas-
sis (see Figure 7-12).
Insert the bracket’s hinge tabs into the chassis slots so
that the tabs hook over the slots. Then rotate the bracket
toward the drive cage, and fit the bracket’s sliding tab
on the drive-cage slide rail. Slide the bracket into place.
Reinstall the screw you removed in step 4.

nector on the back of the drive (see Figure 7-13).
Check all connectors to be certain that they are prop-
erly cabled and firmly seated.

cable to the 40-pin interface connector on the
back of the hard-disk drive (see Figure 7-13).
