If the replacement drive does not have the bracket rails attached,
remove the rails from the old drive by removing the two screws that
secure each rail to the drive.
Replacing the Hard Drive
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
Gently slide the drive into place until you hear it securely click.
2
Connect the power cable to the drive, and connect the IDE data cable
to the drive and the IDE1 connector on the system board.
