Installing the Option Drive

10
The Octane2 Duo upgrade includes an additional internal hard disk drive ("option
drive") for your Octane2. This provides the additional storage required in order for two
people to simultaneously use the system.
The instructions for installing the internal drive may be found in Chapter 7, "Installing
and Removing Internal Drives and Front Module Parts," in your Octane2 Workstation
Owner's Guide. The steps involved in the process are outlined below, along with
references to specific portions of Chapter 7 in your Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide.
To install the option drive, follow these steps:
1. Shut down and power off your workstation, as described on page 161 of your
Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide.
2. Remove the lock bar and the front bezel from your workstation, as described on
pages 162 through 164 of your Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide.
3. Install the internal drive into one of the empty drive bays (either the middle bay or
the upper bay), as described on pages 165 through 167 of your Octane2 Workstation
Owner's Guide.
Note: The lower bay is used for the system drive, and will already be occupied.
4. Remove the appropriate blank panel (that is, the middle or upper one) from the
front bezel, as described on pages 168 and 169 of your Octane2 Workstation Owner's
Guide. Save the blank panel for reinstallation in case you later remove the internal
drive.
5. Reinstall the front bezel and the lock bar, as described on pages 195 and 196 of your
Octane2 Workstation Owner's Guide.
6. Power on your workstation, as described on page 197 of your Octane2 Workstation
Owner's Guide.
7. Test the new internal option drive, as described on page 176 of your Octane2
Workstation Owner's Guide.
Your additional hard disk drive is now installed.
