4-22 Upgrading Your System
Installing an Internal Hard Disk Drive
1. Power off the system and remove the left side panel as
described earlier in this chapter.
!
CAUTION
Observe static precautions. Use an antistatic wrist strap.
2. Remove the 3.5-inch hard disk drive from its protective wrapper. Record the
drive model and serial number in the equipment log.
3. Set any drive jumpers or switches before you install the drive. See the
documentation that comes with the device for jumper or switch information.
Note:
Ensure all terminators and “TE” jumpers are
removed from hard disk drives before they are installed.
!
CAUTION
If a drive bezel is installed, it must be removed because it
blocks the airflow around the drive. If the drive comes with
drive rails, do not use them. Remove any rails already
attached.
4. Remove the three screws holding the hard disk drive bay to the rear of the
chassis. See Figure 4-20.
