Installing an Optional Third Hard Drive (Tower Computer Only)
1. If you are installing a new drive, unpack the drive and prepare it for installation.
Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for your computer.
2. Install 4 screws in the front four holes on the sides of the drive, if they are not already installed.
Otherwise, verify that the screws are installed in the front 4 holes.
3. Follow the procedures in Before You Begin.
NOTICE: If metal shields are present in your computer configuration, they must be installed at all times while your computer is in use or your computer
may not function properly.
NOTICE: To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your
computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer.
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the hard drive, do not set it on a hard surface. Instead, set the drive on a surface, such as a foam pad, that will
sufficiently cushion it.
