Removing a Hard Disk Drive From the Mounting
Bracket
You may need to remove a hard disk drive for service or for
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.
Follow these steps to remove a hard disk drive from the bracket:
1. Disconnect the cables from the back of the hard disk drive
and diskette drive in the bracket. Grasp the connectors and
pull them straight out so you do not bend the pins; do not
pull on the cables.
2. Remove the screws securing the bracket to the drive bay and
brace.
