7.Wrap the hard disk drive in its original packing materials and set it aside. Then carefully arrange the power supply cable so that it does not interfere with any other cables or mechanisms.

8.Follow the steps on page 5-41to replace the computer’s cover. Then see “Post-installation Setup” later in Chapter 5 for instructions on configuring your computer for use without a hard disk drive.

Note

After you change your computer’s drive configuration, your computer may take several minutes to complete power-on diagnostics the next time you turn it on.

Installing or Removing a Disk Drive in the Horizontal Position

This section describes how to install or remove a drive in the lower horizontal drive bay. You can use these same instructions if you need to install a different diskette drive in the upper drive bay. (The illustrations show the lower bay.)

If you are installing a second hard disk or diskette drive, you must install it in the lower horizontal drive bay. If you have a hard disk drive installed in the vertical mounting position, remove it before you remove or install a drive in a horizontal drive bay. See “Removing a Hard Disk From the Vertical Position” on page B-24.

If you do not need to remove a hard disk drive from the vertical position (or have already done so), follow the steps under “Removing the Subassembly,” below. You must remove the entire subassembly from the computer before you can access a drive in a horizontal drive bay.
