Removing a Drive from an Externally Accessible Bay
You may need to remove a drive for service or replacement.
Caution
Before you remove a hard disk drive, make sure you have
backup copies of all your files and programs. You can use
backup software or the backup utility in your operating system.
Refer to the online help files or software documentation for
instructions.
If your system included a Recovery CD-ROM, it contains an
image of your hard drive as it was configured at the factory. You
can use this CD-ROM to restore the original files that came on
the hard drive; you cannot restore any data files you have
created.
To remove a drive from an external drive bay, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the drive mounting bracket, following the
instructions under “Removing the Drive Mounting Bracket.”
(You can remove the bracket and drives without
disconnecting the drive cables.)
2.
Disconnect all cables from the drive you are removing.
