suitable anti-static precautions and remove the system side

If you are unfamiliar with the recommended anti-static precautions,
refer to the antistatic section at the rear of this handbook.
2. Carefully remove the lowest front bezel blanking insert by
pushing it off from the rear with a blunt point. A hole for this
is provided inside the system, alongside the metal drive cage.
3. Pull out the blanking plate on the front of the internal drive
bay metalwork.
4. Check the master/slave link on the new hard drive is set for
‘slave’ drive. The link across ‘

for safety by placing it onto one of the pins. A typical drive:

SLAVE
5. Remove any fitted drive mounting plate from the drive bay
and put to one side if not required for the new drive.
6. Slide the new hard drive, (with the drive mounting plate fitted
if required) into the drive bay from the front and secure it with
the screws into the space immediately above the existing hard
drive.
7.
Connect a power cable from one of the available unused ones.
8. Connect the hard drive ribbon cable to the new drive. The
ribbon is striped to indicate pin 1, which goes to the end
nearest the power connector.
9.
Refit the system side panels, metal plate and front bezel.
