I need to remove the hard drive from an old micron millennia tower so that I can recycle the tower without my private information on the hard drive. I have the tower open but can't either find or access the hard drive. Hints?

To access and remove the hard drive from a Micron Millennia Series micro-tower:

1. Unplug the AC power cord to avoid electrical damage.
2. Touch the metal case or chassis to discharge static electricity.
3. Remove Access Panel 1 to reach internal components.
4. If removing or replacing drives, also remove Access Panel 2.
5. After both panels are removed, locate and disconnect the hard drive cables.
6. Unscrew or release the drive from its mounting bracket and slide it out.

Use caution to prevent damage to components.

  • Page 16: Moisture And Humidity Concerns

    S Y S T E M C A R E Operating Environment Mois tu re and H umidit y Conc ern s While your computer will generally run better in cooler environments, there are components of the computer that are adversely affected by cold temperatures. Also, exposing the computer to cold temperatures can produce condensation, which could damage individual components or destroy your system and monitor.

  • Page 17: Noise Concerns

    Altitude Nois e Conce rns Some computer components, such as fans and drives, when in operation, make noise. Micron designs their systems to make the least amount of noise possible. If your computer seems to make excessive noise, open the case and see if there are any parts rubbing together or where the source of the noise is coming from.

  • Page 18: Cleaning

    You should note that some power strips are not surge protectors but simply extension cords. If your local area is subject to frequent electric power failures, Micron recommends attaching an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to the computer and monitor. A UPS will provide time to save all data files and properly turn off the system.
