Instructions for dual drive upgrade for Philips DSR6000
(also Philips DSR6000r and Philips DSR6000r01)
A FEW WORDS OF CAUTION:
First and foremost, please be aware that upgrading a TiVo presents a few physical
hazards. As with most consumer electronics devices, components in the TiVo may still
carry a lethal charge, even after disconnecting from your power supply. Be aware of this
while working inside your TiVo. Allow sufficient time for discharging of components and
avoid contact as much as possible with potential hazards. While we have done
everything we can to provide accurate, easy-to-follow instructions, we cannot be
responsible for any damage done to your TiVo or to yourself as a result of your upgrade.
By opening your TiVo, you agree that neither Adberg Consulting LLC nor any of its
members or affiliates is responsible in any way for any harm done. Please be VERY
careful when upgrading. NEVER open the TiVo while the unit is plugged in and NEVER
operate the TiVo if the lid is not securely fastened.
Please Note: Opening the TiVo voids the warranty.
1. OPENING THE TIVO
1.1.
Unplug the power cord from the TiVo and wait five minutes for the TiVo to
discharge. Do not plug the TiVo back in until you are completely finished. Be very careful
of static electricity, which can destroy your TiVo's internal parts. You shouldn't perform
this upgrade on carpet.
1.2.
Using the smaller Torx screwdriver included in your Weaknees.com kit,
unscrew the four Torx screws on the back of your TiVo. The four screws are surrounded
by black from the top of the TiVo's case (there are four other screw which you should NOT
remove).
1.3.
Once the four screws are removed, you have to remove the lid, which can
sometimes be difficult. The "tried and true" method is to place the TiVo on the floor and
kneel down with your knees about 6 inches from the FRONT of the TiVo. Place your palms
on the top side edges of the TiVo, toward the back and push toward the back of the TiVo
(this occasionally requires a bit of force). The cover should slide back and then up.
Remove the cover from the TiVo

With the cover off and looking underneath the front lip of the TiVo, you will be able to see (1) one (or possibly two) hard drive(s), (2) a ribbon cable that runs from the greenish motherboard underneath the drive to the hard drive, (3) a multi-colored (red, black, yellow) power cable that runs from the power supply to the hard drive, and (4) a fan cable (two-wires;...

A word about the extra cables: You will need to play with the excess cable to be sure that the excess cable is in front of or on top of the drives—and not below the drives. Ideally, you will have the excess gray cable folded on top of the drives and the power cable tucked in in front of the fan housing.
