2.4.

Using your screwdriver, unscrew and remove the four screws securing the

drive bay to the TiVo chassis.

2.5.

Once the screws are removed, you will be able to lift the drive bay up and

out of the TiVo. Flip the drive bay up and out of the TiVo and onto the TiVo lid, with the

hard drive face-down on the TiVo lid and the two cables running from the drive to the

TiVo. You will now need to remove both of the cables connected to the hard drive by

following the instructions below:

(a) The hard drive has a power connector running into the hard drive. The

power cable has a white connector plugged into the hard drive. Remove the power

connector from the hard drive. The power cables are sometimes difficult to remove;

patience and wiggling it back and forth usually does the trick.

(b) Remove the hard drive ribbon cable (longer, gray cable with a blue or

black connector) from the hard drive by pulling on the hard plastic piece connected to the

hard drive.

3. REMOVING THE EXISTING DRIVE(S)

3.1.

With the hard drive bay upside down on the TiVo lid, remove the four screws

connecting the hard drive to the hard drive bay. Do not confuse these screws with the

four screws you removed from the back of the TiVo before removing the lid.

3.2.

Set aside the drive(s) you have just removed for safe keeping.

4. CONNECTING THE NEW HARD DRIVE TO THE DRIVE BAY

4.1.

Included in your upgrade kit is a replacement hard drive. You will need the

four screws that you removed from the hard drive bay. The screws will be used to attach

the upgrade drive to the drive bay.

4.2.

Install the drive in the same position as the drive you just removed.
