Installing in the forward drive bay
4/4
FT1200 HANDBOOK
To install a second hard disk drive in the forward drive bay:
1.
Turn off the computer and unplug all power cords.
2.
If there is a diskette in the diskette drive, remove it.
3.
Take suitable anti-static precautions and remove all the system
panels.
4.
Carefully remove the plastic bezel blanking insert from the
lowest front drive slot by pushing it out from the rear with a
blunt instrument (for example, the end of a rubber-tipped
pencil). A hole for this is provided inside the system unit,
alongside the drive bay.
5.
Pull out the metal blanking plate from the front of the internal
drive bay metalwork.
6.
Remove the drive mounting plate (it is secured by two screws
on each side).
7.
If you are fitting a 3.5 inch hard disk drive, attach it to the
drive mounting plate using the special screws provided with the
drive. Carefully slide the mounting tray (with drive) back into
the drive bay from the front, then secure it on both sides using
the screws you removed at Step 6.
8.
Attach a spare power cable to the new drive (it does not matter
greatly which of the available power cables you choose).
9.
Attach a spare connector on the SCSI ribbon (signal) cable to
the new drive.
◊ Remember to check 'Termination rules' on the first page of
this chapter.
10. Check to ensure that no other cables or connections have
become dislodged or trapped during the work, then refit the
internal metal blanking plate, the plastic front bezel and the
system unit panels.
