Installing a Hard Drive

1Unpack the new hard drive, and prepare it for installation.

2Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for your computer.

3If you are adding a second hard drive, remove the bracket rails from the inside of the hard- drive bay by gently pulling the rails up and out of the bay.

4If you are replacing a hard drive and the new drive does not have the bracket rails attached, remove the rails from the old drive by removing the two screws that secure each rail to the drive.

5Attach the bracket rails to the new drive by aligning the screw holes on the drive with the screw holes on the bracket rails and then inserting and tightening all four screws (two screws on each rail).

6Ensure that the rail tabs are positioned at the back of the hard drive.

NOTICE: Do not install any drive into the lower hard-drive bay until you have removed the green drive rails from the inside of the hard-drive bay.
