3Remove the drive panel (see "Removing the Drive Panel" on page 124).

4Remove the shoulder screws from the inside of the drive-panel insert and attach the screws to the new drive (see "Removing the Drive-Panel Insert" on page 125).

5Turn the FlexBay knob on the cage at 90 degrees, in the anti-clockwise direction.

NOTICE: Ensure the FlexBay knob is turned in the anticlockwise direction. Failure to heed can result in the knob being broken.

NOTE: Turning the FlexBay knob once opens up the drive space to accommodate a larger device like a hard drive. The knob at this stage is in a horizontal position.

6Pull the sliding plate lever down and hold in place.

7Slide the hard drive into the flex bay drive until the sliding plate clicks into place and the drive snaps into position.

8Attach the power and hard drive cables to the hard drive.

9Replace the computer cover (see "Replacing the Computer Cover" on page 172).
