Now that the mounting bracket has been removed from the drive assembly, you will be able to add
the adapter to the hard drive that will enable the new PC board to connect to the hard drive.
1. Attach the new PC board adapter (636-540) to the pins at the rear of the hard drive. Leave the
first set of four separate pins open. Attach the adapter to the remaining pins. One side of the
adapter is labeled “top-side.” This side should be facing up away from the hard drive, so you
can read it. See Figure 10.
Note: This connection is keyed. You will notice that one of the connector’s holes is
blocked. The blocked hole corresponds to the missing pin on the hard drive’s
connection port.

2. Locate the screw and rubber washer that came with the PC Board Adapter’s installation kit.
3. Place the rubber washer in between the holes in the adapter and the mounting bracket.
4. Fasten the screw through the hole in the top of the PC adapter board, the washer, and the
mounting bracket. Use a T9 size Torx screwdriver.
Note: The four screws that attach the hard drive to the mounting bracket may have to
be loosened in order to reposition the hard drive so that the hole in the mounting
bracket aligns with the hole on the board after it has been attached to the hard
drive. Be sure to retighten the screws afterwards if you need to do this.
