Replacing Or Adding A Drive - Compaq Presario 6500 - Desktop PC Getting Started

Replacing or Adding a Drive

The steps to replace or add a drive are the same
for both the 6000 and 8000 models, except
when you are replacing a diskette drive on the
8000 model. If you are replacing a diskette drive
on the 8000 model, before starting step 1 in the
following instructions, you need to fit the diskette
drive in a diskette drive adapter as described
in "Reassembling the Diskette Adapter"
on page 8–16.
If you are replacing or adding any drive other
than a diskette drive on the 8000 model, begin
with step 1 in the following instructions.
Getting Started
To Replace or Add a Drive
1. Install four guide screws on the sides of the
drive (two on each side). The screws help
guide the drive into its proper position in
the bay.
❏ When replacing a drive on either the
6000 and 8000 model, place the screws
that you removed from the old drive in the
new drive.
❏ When adding a second hard drive on
the 8000 model, use the four extra guide
screws that are attached to the chassis
under the front bezel.
