1 Open the bezel on the front of the media server, and use a #2 cross-point (Phillips) screwdriver to
unscrew the two screws on the faceplate of the hard drive bracket.
NOTE:
The hard drive bracket is on the front right-hand side of the S8700 Media Server.
2 Partially pull out the hard drive bracket so that you can disconnect the cables. Note the position of
the ribbon cable within the chassis so you can return it to exactly the same position later.
3 Unplug the 4-wire power cable from the back of the hard drive.
4 Unplug the ribbon cable from the back of the hard drive. Note that the red stripe on the ribbon
cable is on the side closest to the power cable.

on your antistatic mat.
