7Place the old drive in an antistatic bag or container, then place the new hard drive on a static-free surface with the top up and the connectors facing you.

8Install two small, plastic drive mounting rails (“L” rail on the left and “R” rail on the right) to the new hard drive, making sure the front rail extensions are towards the front of the device. Align the wire retention clips to the mounting holes in the drive and pressing the rails to the sides of the drive.

9Align the rails with an open bay in the bottom drive cage, and slide the drive into the cage until the locking tabs snap into place (be sure that the data and power connectors on the drive face outward).

10Connect the power and data cables to the drive. (See drive documentation for proper drive jumper settings and cable orientation.)

11Close the case, as described in Chapter 3.

12Reconnect the power and modem cords, then turn on the system.

Installing an additional hard drive

The system comes equipped with a drive cage that will accept additional internal hard drives. You will have to purchase an IDE cable with three connectors and of sufficient length to connect the existing hard drive and the new drive to the IDE connector on the system board.
