INSTALL THE HARD DRIVE AND BRACKET BACK INTO THE TIVO
Orient yourself in front of the TiVo, with
the power supply in the back-rear of the
TiVo. Pick up the bracket so that the drive
connectors are facing left and the drive
label is facing up.
Install the drive bracket into the TiVo so
that the pins in the TiVo chassis fit inside
the
square
open holes in the bracket. Then
slide the bracket toward the front of the
TiVo. If the drive bracket is installed
properly, the two
round
open holes in the
bracket will align with the round holes in
the TiVo chassis.
Secure the bracket to the TiVo using the
bracket screws you removed in Step 2.
7.
ATTACH THE IDE CABLE AND POWER CABLE
Once the bracket and new drive are installed, attach the IDE ribbon cable and
power cable to the drive. The IDE ribbon cable attaches to the drive with the
notch in the cable facing up. The power cable connector should be installed
with the rounded side facing up. Again, be careful not to jar or dislodge the
front-panel ribbon cable.
8.
RE-ATTACHING THE TIVO LID
Place the TiVo lid back over the TiVo with the back of the lid
overhanging the TiVo by about three-quarters of an inch. At the
same time, align the clips on each side of the lid so that they clip
down on the sides of your TiVo. Slide the lid toward you while
simultaneously pushing down on the top of the lid. Once the lid is in
place, reattach the four Torx screws. Plug in your TiVo and enjoy!
NOTE: When you first start your TiVo, you will see a note saying
"Clearing and Deleting Everything. This will take an Hour." This is
normal, and will actually take only 10 minutes or so. Once you have
gone through the setup process, you can confirm your added
capacity in the System Information screen. If you have a
DirecTV/TiVo and your TiVo sticks at 28% when first loading the
satellite data, please see our home page for the solution.
We thank you very much for your purchase and hope that you enjoy your newly-enhanced TiVo. Please
email us
with any comments, suggestions or
complaints. If you found the upgrade easy to install (or even if you found it more difficult than you expected), we’d love to know. If you found our
service to be excellent (or awful), we want to know that too. We’re always looking to improve our products and services…the more we hear from
you, the better. Thanks very much!
