Removing an Optional Third Hard Drive (Tower Computer Only) CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide. CAUTION: To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from the electrical outlet before opening the cover.

You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer. NOTICE: To avoid damage to the hard drive, do not set it on a hard surface. Instead, set the drive on a surface, such as a foam pad, that will sufficiently cushion it. 1 If you are replacing a hard drive that contains data that you want to keep, back up your files before you begin this procedure. 2 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 151. 3 Remove the computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on page 153). 4 Remove the drive panel (see "Removing the Drive Panel" on page 233). 218 Adding and Replacing Parts
