Do not drop, shake, or bump the HDD. Do not touch the HDD with magnetic objects or place magnetic-sensitive
items near the HDD.
2 Place the HDD inside the HDD bracket, and align the two holes on either side of the HDD with the holes in the
bracket.
Position the HDD inside the HDD bracket as shown in Figure 40.
3 Replace the four screws that attach the bracket to the HDD.
Make sure that you use the same screws that you removed earlier.
4 Position the HDD assembly inside the chassis, as shown in Figure 39 on page 80.
Position the lower edge of the HDD bracket over the mounting posts in the chassis, and press down firmly to
engage the posts.
5 Using the two screws that you removed earlier, secure the HDD assembly to the chassis.

connected to SATA0 on the motherboard.
