NOTE NOTE Installing and Replacing Hardware Parts Removing and Replacing a Hard Disk Drive Configure the new hard disk drive with the same jumper settings as the old one. Installing the New Drive 1. Add the blue guide rails to the new hard disk drive. Insert the guide rail labeled "L" on the left-hand side (cable connectors facing towards you and positioned at the bottom), and the guide rail "R" on the right-hand side of the hard disk drive. 2. The hard disk drive can only be inserted one way. Ensure that the data and cable connectors are facing you and positioned at the top. The boot IDE drive is normally located in the lower drive shelf. If you are adding a secondary IDE drive, move the boot drive to the upper shelf and install the secondary drive in the lower shelf. This will insure the cables are positioned correctly. This procedure is not necessary if the drive is a SCSI drive. 3. Align the guide rails on both sides of the drive with the internal shelf guides and then slide the drive in until it clicks into position. Avoid trapping or disconnecting the hard disk drive bay thermal sensor cable. If this cable becomes disconnected, reconnect it to the system board connector marked THERMAL_SENSOR (positioned near the IDE and Floppy data cable connectors). 4. Connect the power cable and the data cable to the new hard disk drive. The connectors are shaped to go in one way only. If you are not sure which connector to use, refer to "Mass Storage and Optical Device Overview" on page 162. 5. Replace the Workstation's cover (refer to page 153). Reconnect all the power and telecommunications cables. 6. Turn to page 174 to complete the installation. Chapter 6 169
