Drives The computer supports one optical drive and one hard drive. This section describes the procedure for replacing or upgrading the drives. A Torx T-15 screwdriver is needed to remove and install the guide screws on a drive. Installing Additional Drives When installing additional drives, follow these guidelines: ● Connect the primary SATA hard drive to the dark blue primary SATA connector on the system board labeled SATA1 for model 500B, SATA0 for model 505B. ● Connect the SATA optical drive to the white SATA connector on the system board labeled SATA2 on model 500B, SATA1 for model 505B. CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to the computer or drive: If you are inserting or removing a drive, shut down the operating system properly, turn off the computer, and unplug the power cord. Do not remove a drive while the computer is on or in standby mode. Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector. Handle a drive carefully; do not drop it. Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive. Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products that have magnetic fields such as monitors or speakers. If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or other protective packaging and label the package "Fragile: Handle With Care." Drives 21
