NOTE: If you have the S0000 series, and you removed a 7-In-1 memory card reader, continue to step 7; otherwise, you are finished with the task of removing a drive from the chassis.

If you have the 8000 series and you removed a hard disk drive, a 7-In-1 memory card reader, or an optical drive, you are also finished with this task. If you have the 8000 series and you removed a diskette drive, continue to step 6.

6For an 8000 series diskette drive, squeeze inward on both sides of the bracket brace and lift the brace up and out (1). Remove the two sets of screws (2) (left and right sides) that secure the drive to the drive adapter. Lift the diskette drive out of the drive adapter (3) by sliding the drive back and then up. Ensure that the guide screws (4) (left and right sides) are left in the drive adapter. You are finished with the task of removing the drive.

replacing or adding a drive

The steps to replace or add a drive are the same for both the S0000 and 8000 series, except when you are replacing a diskette drive on the 8000 series, or the 7-In-1 memory card reader on the S0000 series.

If you are replacing a diskette drive on the 8000 series, 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 6.

If you are replacing a 7-In-1 memory card reader, before starting step 1 in the following instructions, reassemble the reader in the drive bay adapter as described in step 7 of “removing a drive” on page 3.

If you are replacing or adding any other drive, begin with step 1 in the following instructions.

to replace or add a drive

1Install 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 the S0000 and 8000 series, place the screws that you removed from the old drive in the new drive.

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