Chapter 2. Installation

This chapter contains hardware and software installation instructions and operating information for the Super Multi-Burner Drive (Serial ATA).

Installing the drive

Complete the following steps to install the drive:

Step 1. Opening the computer

1.Turn off the computer and all attached devices.

2.Unplug all power cords from the computer and all attached devices.

3.Lift the cover from the computer. Refer to your computer documentation for instructions on removing the computer cover.

Step 2. Unpacking the drive

1.Before opening the antistatic bag that the drive is packed in, touch the bag to an unpainted metal surface for at least two seconds. This drains the static electricity from the package and your body.

2.Remove the drive from the bag.

If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat, padded surface, and place the drive on the antistatic bag.

Step 3 Mounting the drive in the bay

Attention

Be sure to use the M3 x 5-mm mounting screws in the option package when securing screws directly into the drive. Using screws that are too long might damage the drive.

You can mount the drive horizontally or vertically in the computer. If you mount the drive vertically, you must secure any discs that you place into the drive before the drive tray is closed, or the drive will not be able to read the disc properly.

1.Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have required procedures for installing storage devices. For more information on storage devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.

2.Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing or mounting bracket.

3.Thread the screws in loosely to check their position. Two screws are usually used on each side. Verify that the alignment is correct; then tighten the screws to secure the drive. Do not overtighten.
