Replacing the primary hard disk drive
Important

When you install a new hard disk drive, you also need a set of Product

Recovery discs. The set of Product Recovery discs will enable the contents of the

hard disk to be restored to the same state as when the computer was
originally shipped from the factory. For more information on recovering

factory-installed software, refer to “Recovering software” in the User Guide.

1. Remove the left-side and right-side covers. See “Removing the covers” on page
84.
2. Disconnect the signal and power cables from the rear of the hard disk drive.
3. Remove the two screws that secure the drive on each side.
4. Slide the drive toward the rear of the chassis until it can be removed.
5. If the drive you are replacing has jumpers on the rear, make sure the jumpers
on the new drive are in the same exact position as the drive being replaced.
6. Slide the new drive into the bay until the screws holes on each side are aligned
and install two screws in each side of the drive.
7. Reconnect the signal and power cables to the rear of the hard disk drive.
8. Go to “Completing the FRU replacement” on page 112.
