1. Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for your computer.
NOTICE:
To avoid damage to the drive, do not set it on a hard surface. Instead, set the drive on a surface, such as a
foam pad, that will sufficiently cushion it.
2. Unpack the replacement hard drive, and prepare it for installation.
3. If the replacement drive does not have the bracket rails attached, see
step 2
in the previous section for instructions on
attaching rails.
4. Install the hard drive into the computer by gently sliding the drive into place until you hear it securely click.
NOTICE:
Match the colored strip on the cable with pin 1 on the drive (pin 1 is marked as "1").
5. Connect the power and hard-drive cables to the drive.

2
power cable
6. Check all connectors to be certain that they are properly cabled and firmly seated.
7. If your computer has a hard-drive shroud, replace the shroud by inserting the two tabs on the bottom into the holes in
the computer and snapping the top into place. (Operating the computer without a hard-drive shroud does not affect its
performance.)
8. Close the computer cover.
9. Attach the computer stand (optional).
