Installing A New Internal Hard Drive

additional storage space—you can swap internal hard drives as desired.The
requirements for a VS-2480 drive are noted on Page 85. Mount the new drive in the
required HPD35-K20 mounting kit according to the HPD35-K20’s instructions prior to
its installation in the VS-2480.

VS-2480’s screws. The head of the screw may become stripped if you use the wrong
screwdriver.
• To remove a screw, turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten a screw, turn the
screwdriver clockwise.
• When installing a hard drive, remove only the specified screws.
• Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the
VS-2480.
• Re-attach the VS-2480’s front panel after the installation—do not leave its internal
components exposed.
• Do not touch any printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.
• Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the installation bay.
• After you’ve installed the hard drive, double-check your work.
