Installing the Hard Drive 5

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

Turn your computer off.

Unplug your system from the electrical outlet.

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.

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.
