Add a new drive as the boot drive, removing the old boot drive
The following steps replace an existing boot drive with the IBM Deskstar. The new drive is
temporarily installed as Primary Slave so data can be copied from the old boot drive to the IBM
Deskstar before removing the old boot drive.
Begin the hardware install
1. Turn off your computer system.
2. Remove cover as instructed by your computer system manual.
3. Discharge static electricity by touching an unpainted metal
surface on your computer chassis with one hand. Touch the ESD
bag with the other hand. Remain in contact with the chassis and
the bag for at least two seconds.
4. Unplug your computer.
5. Note mounting position of existing drives and cables.
6. If replacing a cable with a 40-pin, 80-conductor ATA/IDE cable,
remove it now.
Configure the jumper settings
1. Remove the drive from its ESD bag.
2. Record the serial number, part number, and model number on a sheet of paper for future reference.
Note: Placement of model, part, and serial numbers may vary.
