3. Connect the power cable (1) and data cable (2) to the back of the hard drive. NOTE: If you are installing a primary hard drive, use the power connector labeled P4. If you are installing a secondary hard drive, use the power connector labeled P5. Figure 2-30 Connecting the hard drive cables CAUTION: Never crease or bend a SATA data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius. A sharp bend can break the internal wires. 4. If installing a new drive, connect the opposite end of the data cable to the appropriate system board connector. NOTE: If your system has only one SATA hard drive, you must connect the hard drive data cable to the dark blue connector labeled SATA0 to avoid any hard drive performance problems. If you are adding a second hard drive, connect the data cable to the next available (unpopulated) SATA connector on the system board in the following order: SATA0, SATA1, SATA3, SATA2. 5. Route the power and data cables in their cable retainers. 6. Replace the front bezel and workstation access panel. 7. Reconnect the power cord and any external devices, then turn on the workstation. 8. Lock any security devices that were disengaged when the access panel was removed. NOTE: If you replaced the primary hard drive, use the Restore Plus! CD set that you created when you initially set up the workstation to restore the operating system, software drivers, and any software applications that were preinstalled on the workstation. When the restore process has completed, reinstall any personal files that you backed up before replacing the hard drive. 32 Chapter 2 Hardware upgrades ENWW
