Replacing the Hard Drive
1
Remove the system cover (see “Removing the System Cover” on
page 24).
2
Remove the two screws that secure the hard drive carrier to the
diskette drive housing.
3
Lift the hard drive carrier about ½” (until it reaches the stops), then
pull sideways (away from the front panel) until the drive carrier is
clear.
!
Before opening the system unit, save any open files, exit Windows, turn off
the power of the computer and all attached peripherals, and then unplug the
power cord.
✍
Be sure to back up any files on your hard drive that you want to preserve before you replace
the drive.
