6 REPLACING THE HARD DRIVE
III. Removing the Hard Drive
To remove the hard drive, complete the following procedure.
1. Turn the computer on its side (open side facing up).
2. Locate the hard drive inside the chassis wall at the front of the computer.
Note: Your hard drive has icons and markings inside the chassis to make identifying parts easy. Look at the replacement part carefully to
help identify and locate the component to be replaced.
3. Disconnect the hard drive data cable 1 and power cable 2 using a gentle rocking motion (see Figure 3-1).
Note: The hard drive data cable has a blue pull tab to help you identify the cable.

If you leave the computer at any time during the removal and replacement procedure, remember to touch
some part of the metal chassis before resuming the procedure.
