Replacing the hard drive
The hard drive is secured to a mounting plate that snaps out of and into the
chassis.
To replace the hard drive:
1
Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2
Open the case (see "Opening the case" on page 15), observing the "Static
electricity precautions" on page 13.

Locate the 3.5-inch hard drive and mounting plate ring.
Your system was designed to adhere to electromagnetic
interference requirements and the shield is an integral part
of the system. Installing an approved device should
continue to maintain those standards. If you remove the
device you should reinstall the shield.
