The hard drive is used to
store information
permanently inside your
computer.
You need a screw and a data
(ribbon) cable to install an
optional hard drive. The
empty bracket for the optional
hard drive already exists in
your computer chassis.
The existing hard drive data
cable has a color pull-tab to
help you identify the cable.
You must replace the existing
data cable for the optional
hard drive to function
properly.

Caution: Dropping the hard drive may cause the read/write heads
to dig into the media, resulting in damage to the heads and the
media, and loss of data.
2. Remove the screw that secures
the empty hard drive bracket to
the chassis included within the
system. Insert the second hard
drive, and line up the two pins
on the bracket with the holes on
the hard drive. Snap the
optional hard drive in place
inside the optional hard drive bracket.
3. Insert the screw from your
purchased kit to secure the
hard drive to the bracket.
