Replacing a hard disk drive
Attention
Do not open your computer or attempt any repair before reading and understanding the “Important safety information”

This section provides instructions on how to replace a hard disk drive.
Important
When you receive a new hard disk drive, you also receive a set of Product Recovery discs. The set of
Product Recovery discs will enable you to restore the contents of the hard disk drive to the same state
as when your computer was originally shipped from the factory. For more information on recovering
factory-installed software, refer to “Recovering software” in your ThinkStation User Guide.
Attention: Your computer supports both SAS hard disk drives and SATA hard disk drives. However, be sure
that you do not install both the SAS and SATA hard disk drives into the same computer.
To replace a hard disk drive, do the following:
1. Remove the computer cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 78.
2. Locate the hard disk drive. See “Locations” on page 79.
3. Disconnect the signal and power cables from the hard disk drive.
4. Pull the bracket handle out to remove the hard disk drive from the chassis.
