b. Remove the drive from the drive tray by gently pulling both sides of the
drive tray outward until the mounting pins are disengaged from the holes
on the drive; then, lift the drive out of the drive tray.
11. Touch the static-protective package containing the new drive to any unpainted
metal surface on the computer; then, remove the drive from the package and
place it on a static-protective surface.
12. Set any jumpers or switches on the new drive according to the documentation
that comes with the drive.
13. Attach the new drive to the drive tray. Place the drive on the drive tray and
align the holes on the drive with the mounting pins on the drive tray (see
Figure 16). Gently pull both sides of the drive tray outward and insert the
mounting pins into the holes on the drive.
14. Slide the drive into the drive bay until the drive snaps into place.
15. Determine whether the drive is a Serial ATA or SCSI device; then, connect one
end of the applicable signal cable into the back of the drive and the other end
of this cable into the applicable Serial ATA or SCSI connector on the system
board. If there are open connectors on the cables connecting existing Serial
ATA or SCSI drives, you can use these cables to connect the new drive. See
“Power and signal cables for internal drives” on page 44 for additional
information about cabling drives and “System-board internal connectors” on
page 77 for the location of Serial ATA and SCSI connectors on the system
board.
16. Route the signal cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of the
drives or over any microprocessor.
17. Connect the power cable to the back of the drive. The connectors are keyed
and can be inserted only one way.
18. Push the drive cage outward, and press in on the drive-cage release tab.
Rotate the cage part-way into the computer; then, reconnect any power cables
you disconnected in step 8 and rotate the cage the rest of the way back into
the computer. Make sure that the drives and cables do not strike the
microprocessor fan sink.
19. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
