Storage drive in the front-access storage enclosure

Attention: Do not open your computer or attempt any repair before reading and understanding the Chapter
1 "Read this first: Important safety information" on page 1.
You can install or replace a storage drive in the front-access storage enclosure. The storage drive also can
be hot-swappable, which means that you can install or replace the drive without even turning off your
computer. Therefore, lock the enclosure cover to prevent the unexpected removal. The keys are attached at
the rear of the computer. Store the keys in a secure place.
The storage drive in the front-access storage enclosure is hot-swappable only when the following
requirements are met:
• The eSATA mode of the SATA 4 connector is enabled. See "Parts on the system board" on page 38 for
more information.
• The SATA cable of the front-access storage enclosure is connected to the SATA 4 connector on the
system board. To verify the cable connection, see "Preparing your computer" on page 98 and "Parts on
the system board" on page 38 for more information.
• The operating system of your computer does not reside on the storage drive installed in the front-access
storage enclosure.
Attention: If any of the above requirements are not met, do not install or replace the storage drive when the
computer is turned on. Otherwise, data on the storage drive might get damaged.
