Replacing or Adding a Drive

The steps to replace or add a drive are the same for both the 6000 and 8000 models, except when you are replacing a diskette drive on the 8000 model. If you are replacing a diskette drive on the 8000 model, before starting step 1 in the following instructions, you need to fit the diskette drive in a diskette drive adapter as described

in “Reassembling the Diskette Adapter” on page 8–16.

If you are replacing or adding any drive other than a diskette drive on the 8000 model, begin with step 1 in the following instructions.

To Replace or Add a Drive

1.Install four guide screws on the sides of the drive (two on each side). The screws help guide the drive into its proper position in the bay.

❏When replacing a drive on either the 6000 and 8000 model, place the screws that you removed from the old drive in the new drive.

❏When adding a second hard drive on the 8000 model, use the four extra guide screws that are attached to the chassis under the front bezel.
