2. Remove the metal bay plate by doing the following:
a. Insert a large flat-blade screwdriver in the slot in the center of the plate
and pivot the screwdriver up until the plate bends up enough for you to
grasp it with your fingers.
b. Use your fingers to bend the plate up and down until it breaks away
from the frame.
c. Discard the metal bay plate.
3. Slide the new drive into bay 2.
4. Locate the appropriate signal cable connector and an unused power
connector; then attach the connectors to the drive. Make sure connectors are
fully seated.
5. Position the drive so the four mounting-screw holes on the drive align with the
four holes on the frame. Then, install the four mounting screws, through the
frame and into the drive.
6. If you are installing a drive that has its own face plate, such as a diskette
drive, tape drive, or DVD-ROM drive, adjust the drive front to rear so the front
face plate aligns with the front panel of the computer.
7. Tighten all four mounting screws.
8. If you installed a drive that does not have its own face plate, reinstall the bay
panel you removed earlier.
Note:
If you are installing an IDE drive, and the spare
connector on the IDE cable will not reach the new
drive, disconnect the connector on the end of the
cable from the factory-installed hard disk drive and
use that connector for the new drive. Then, connect
the spare connector to the factory-installed hard disk
drive.
