Removing the primary internal boot disk drive
To remove the primary internal boot disk drive:
1. Disconnect the EIDE ribbon cable from the motherboard. Remember where the EIDE
ribbon cable connects to the motherboard. The following figure shows an EIDE cable
when there is only one internal disk drive.
2. If the computer has a secondary data disk drive installed, disconnect the EIDE ribbon
cable from the secondary disk drive. If no secondary disk is installed, skip this step.
3. Remove the two screws that secure the primary disk drive mounting bracket assembly
to the chassis. See the following figure.
