Removal and replacement tips

● To verify the type, size, and capacity of the storage devices installed in the computer, run Computer
Setup (F10) Utility.
● Adding a new drive may require that you make new connections from the drive to the system board.
Note that:
◦ The primary Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive must be connected to the dark blue primary SATA
connector on the system board labeled SATA0.
◦ Connect a secondary hard drive to SATA1.
◦ Connect SATA optical drives to the black SATA2 connector.
◦ Connect an optional eSATA adapter cable to the black ESATA connector SATA3 on the system board.
(Tower only)
◦ Connect a media card reader USB cable to the USB connector on the system board labeled MEDIA. If
the media card reader has a 1394 port, connect the 1394 cable to the 1394 PCI card.
