Installing a hard disk drive
Be careful not to damage components during the upgrade.
In the RaQ 4i configuration, there is an extra IDE cable already attached to the
printed circuit board (PCB); see #2 on Figure 61.
The installed hard disk drive has a Y-connector on the power cable; the cable
connector for the second hard disk drive is capped. See #3 in Figure 62.
The empty bracket for the second hard disk drive is attached to the chassis. Take
note of how the bracket is positioned so that you can replace it in the same
orientation.
To install a hard disk drive:
1. If you have not already done so, remove the hard-disk-drive bracket from the
chassis.
• Remove the screw that attaches the hard-drive bracket to the chassis.
