Installing a Hard Disk Drive in the Internal Drive Bay

Your computer may have a hard disk drive already installed using the hard disk drive mounting bracket. If not, you can install a l-inch (third-height), 3 ½-inch wide drive below the mounting bracket or above it.

Here you will find steps for the following procedures:

0Removing the mounting frames from the hard disk drive (if necessary)

Q Connecting the hard disk drive cables

0Installing the hard disk drive under the mounting bracket (for third-height drives)

Q InstaIling the hard disk drive on the mounting bracket.

Note

Be sure to check the jumper settings on the drive before you install a hard disk drive. Also, you will need to know the number of cylinders, heads, sectors, etc. to select the correct drive type in the SETUP program. See the documentation that came with your drive for this information.

Before you can install a hard disk drive, you need to remove any option cards that may be blocking your access to the hard disk drive area. Once you have installed the drive, replace any option cards you removed. See Chapter 3 for instructions.
