Installing the Hard Drive

This chapter describes how to physically install the hard drive in your computer.
The installation steps are as follows:
– Remove the system cover.
– Set the jumper.
– Mount the hard drive in your computer.
– Attach the cables.
– Configure the BIOS (Windows-based systems only).

Removing the System Cover

1. Turn your computer off.
2. Unplug your system from the electrical outlet.
3. Remove the cover from your system case. Refer to your system user manual
for instructions on removing the cover, or obtain the services of a qualified
installation technician.
4. Attach a grounding strap or touch a metal portion of your computer case.
This will ground you to minimize the risk of exposing the hard drive to
electrostatic discharge.
