Replacing and Adding Drives
Replacing the hard drive
The 3.5-inch hard drive is located in a metal tray that slides in and out of
the hard drive cage. The tray has a spring so you can expand the tray to insert
a drive. When you release the sides of the tray it will contract back together
and secure the drive.
To replace the 3.5-inch hard drive:
1
Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2
Remove the right panel. (See “Removing the side panels” on page 19 and
observe the “Static electricity precautions” on page 17.)
3 Disconnect the power and data cables from the hard drive.
4
The metal tray that holds the hard drive is secured by a set of hard drive
tray release tabs. Remove the tray by squeezing both release tabs inward,
then slide the hard drive tray out of the drive cage.
