Installation guide

PowerBook 3400 and PowerBook G3 (1997) 9
Caution: Note that the ribbon cable connector does not attach to
the “Group B” pins in the diagram below. The same is true when
you re-attach the connector to the new drive.
• Reverse the relevant previous steps to reassemble the computer.
Replacement Notes
Install the palm rest before the clutch covers. The palm rest tabs fit under
the clutch cover tabs.
When replacing the keyboard screws, you may have to apply pressure to
the keyboard for the screws to engage. Apply pressure with great care.
When reinserting the floppy drive align the bay device carefully. Toler-
ances are tight.
As always, install the PowerBook’s battery before connecting the AC
power adapter.
Congratulations! You have completed the hardware installation of your
PowerBook hard drive upgrade.
Note: It is normal for usable hard drive capacities to be reduced
by 5-7% upon initialization of the drive. Also, your drive ships
preformatted and initialized, but does not include system software
on it. If you have the appropriate hardware, such as the MCE Trans-
port PC Card Kit, you may transfer the data from the original inter-
nal hard drive to the new internal hard drive. If not, you may need
to re-install your system software and other applications from the
original disks or CD-ROM disc. Consult the manual(s) that came
with your PowerBook for details.
