the bracket is to turn the bracket upside down. Using one hand, hold the drive against the
bottom of the bracket and look through the holes in the drive bay to align the screw holes.
Using your hands, screw the screws into each of the four holes. Tighten them with the
Torx screwdriver bit that was included with your kit.

CONNECTING THE NEW HARD DRIVE TO THE DRIVE BAY
5.1.
Included in your upgrade kit is a hard drive and a bag of screws. Align the
hard drive on the drive bay, next to the existing hard drive (between the original drive
and the fan, where the existing hard drive was located). Using the screws included in your
kit, attach the drive to the bracket by following the instructions below:
(a)
We have found that the easiest way to attach the drive to the bracket is
to turn the bracket upside down. Using one hand, hold the drive against the bottom of the
bracket and look through the holes in the drive bay to align the screw holes. Using your
hands, screw the screws into each of the four holes. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to
tighten the screws.
(b)
NOTE: Check to be sure that the drive is attached so that the drive
connectors face the same way as the existing drive.
5.2.
You should now have two drives connected to the drive bay.
6.
REPLACING THE POWER CABLE AND IDE CABLE
6.1.
Your upgrade kit contains two cables. The first is a multi-color (black, red,
yellow) power splitter cable. The second is a hard drive IDE cable. You will first need to
ADD the power cable to the end of the existing TiVo power cable and REMOVE the current
hard drive cable from the TiVo.
(a)
Carefully remove the gray ribbon cable from the TiVo’s motherboard and
set it aside. Pull straight up from the black plastic piece attached to the motherboard. Be
very careful with static and do not touch the motherboard itself. You will not need the
cable anymore.
(b)
Take the red/yellow/black power splitter cable included with your upgrade
kit and connect the male end (the only end that will fit) into the power cable that you
removed from the original hard drive.
6.2.
Install the hard drive cable that was included in your upgrade kit onto the
motherboard using the blue connector. You will notice a slight groove in one side of the
plastic connector. That small groove aligns with the groove on the motherboard socket.
6.3.
Once you have connected both the power cable and the hard drive cable, you
should have a long hard drive cable and a long power cable hanging out of your TiVo.
