replacing or adding a drive
The steps to replace or add a drive are the same for both the S0000 and 8000
series, except when you are replacing a diskette drive on the 8000 series, or the
7-In-1 memory card reader on the S0000 series.
If you are replacing a diskette drive on the 8000 series, before starting step 1 in
the following instructions, you need to fit the diskette drive in a diskette drive
adapter as described in “reassembling the diskette adapter” on page 98.
If you are replacing a 7-In-1 memory card reader, before starting step 1 in the
following instructions, reassemble the reader in the drive bay adapter as
described in step 7 of “removing a drive” on page 91.
If you are replacing or adding any other drive, begin with step 1 in the following
instructions.
to replace or add a drive
1 Insert four guide screws into the sides of the drive (two on each side). The
screws help guide the drive into its proper position in the bay.
When replacing a drive on the S0000 and 8000 series, place the screws, that
you removed from the old drive, into the new drive.
When adding a second hard disk drive on the 8000 series, use the four
extra guide screws that are attached to the chassis under the front bezel.
2 Slide the drive into the drive bay (1), making sure to align the guide screws
with the guide slots, until it snaps into place.
