Installing a Cabled Hard Drive
CAUTION:
Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system
cover and access any components inside the system. Before performing any
procedure, see your
Product Information Guide
for complete information about
safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against
electrostatic discharge.
NOTICE:
Combining SATA and SAS hard drives in the same system configuration is
not supported.
1
Unpack the hard drive and prepare it for installation.
2
Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system
from the electrical outlet and from the peripherals.
3
Remove the system cover (see "Removing the System Cover" on page 66).
4
Remove the existing hard drive, if applicable (see "Removing a Cabled
Hard Drive" on page 80).
If there is a hard drive bracket in the empty hard drive bay, press in on the
blue tabs on each side of the bracket and slide the bracket up and out of
the system. (see Figure 3-13).
5
Snap the hard drive bracket onto the hard drive (see Figure 3-14).
If the hard drive you are installing does not have a hard drive bracket,
remove the bracket from the old drive. To remove the hard drive, spread
the sides of the hard-drive bracket outward and lift the drive from the
bracket (see Figure 3-14).
