NOTICE: To avoid possibly damaging the drive by ESD, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the back of the
computer.
NOTICE: When you unpack the drive, do not set it on a hard surface, which may damage the drive. Instead, set the drive on a
surface, such as a foam pad, that will sufficiently cushion it.
1. Prepare the drive for installation.
Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for your computer system.
2. If not already done, remove the computer cover.
3. If not already done, remove the drive bracket from the chassis.
4. Slide the drive into the chosen bay of the bracket, orienting the drive so that the connectors on the back of the drive will face the back of the
chassis when you reinstall the bracket (see Figure18).
5. Align the four screw holes of the drive and bracket. Insert and tighten the screwsfromthehard-disk drive you removed in the previous
procedure:
l If you are installing a drive in the 1.6-inch bay, use the four screw holes in the side of the bracket (see Figure 17).
l If you are installing a drive in the 1-inch bay, use the four screw holes in the bottom of the bracket.
6. Reinstall the hard-disk drive bracket in the chassis (see Figure 18):
a. Insert the bracket's hinge tabs into the chassis hinge slots so that the tabs hook over the hinge slots.
b. Rotate the bracket toward the chassis, and fit the bracket's sliding tab on the chassis slide rail.
c. Slide the bracket into place, and reinstall the screw you removed in step 4 of the previous procedure.

7. Connect a power cable to the power input connector on the back of the drive (see Figure 19).
Check all connectors to be certain that they are properly cabled and firmly seated.
NOTICE: You must match the red-colored stripe on the EIDE cable with pin 1 on the drive's interface connector to avoid
possible damage to your system.
8. Connect the cable connector on the EIDE cable to the 40-pin interface connector on the back of the hard-disk drive.

CAUTION: To avoid the possibility of electric shock, turn off the computer and any peripherals, disconnect them from
electrical outlets, and then wait at least 5 seconds before you remove the computer cover. Also, before you install a drive, see
the other precautions in "Precautionary Measures."
