Figure 3-9. Removing and Installing a Hard Drive in the Drive Carrier
NOTE:
If you do not intend to replace the drive, it is highly recommended that you remove the drive from the guide
bracket (see Figure 3-10) and insert the empty guide bracket back into the drive bay. This eliminates the likelihood
that the empty bracket will be misplaced or improperly stored while not in use.

Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 41.

Reconnect the system to the electrical outlet, and turn on the system and attached peripherals.
