Product Information Guide.
CAUTION: To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from the electrical outlet

NOTE: If removing or installing the hard drive changes the drive configuration, you must reflect the changes in the
BIOS. Go to the "Drives" section of the BIOS and under SATA 0 through 5, set the SATA ports to the correct
configuration.
