2. Insert the primary hard drive “upside down.” Align the hard drive with the primary hard drive bay in
the drive cage so that the bottom of the hard drive is next to the optical drive compartment and the
power and data connectors are up. Slide the drive all the way down into the drive cage until it locks
in place.

3. Connect the data cable and power cable to the back of the primary hard drive.
NOTE: If the system has only one SATA hard drive, the data cable must be connected to the
dark blue connector labeled SATA 0 on the system board to avoid any hard drive performance
problems.
4. Reconnect the power cable and data cable to the back of the optical drive, if applicable.
NOTE: If you replaced the primary hard drive, use the Restore Plus! CD set that you created
when you initially set up the computer to restore the operating system, software drivers, and any
software applications that were preinstalled on the computer. When the restore process has
completed, reinstall any personal files that you backed up before replacing the hard drive.
To reassemble the computer, reverse the removal procedure.
