Wrap the hard disk drive in its original packing materials

and set it aside. Then carefully arrange the power supply

cable so that it does not interfere with any other cables or

mechanisms.

Follow the steps on page 5-41 to replace the computer’s

cover. Then see “Post-installation Setup” later in Chapter 5

for instructions on configuring your computer for use
without a hard disk drive.

Note
After you change your computer’s drive configuration, your

computer may take several minutes to complete power-on

diagnostics the next time you turn it on.

This section describes how to install or remove a drive in the

lower horizontal drive bay. You can use these same instructions

if you need to install a different diskette drive in the upper drive

bay. (The illustrations show the lower bay.)

If you are installing a second hard disk or diskette drive, you

must install it in the lower horizontal drive bay. If you have a
hard disk drive installed in the vertical mounting position,
remove it before you remove or install a drive in a horizontal

drive bay. See “Removing a Hard Disk From the Vertical

Position” on page B-24.

If you do not need to remove a hard disk drive from the vertical

position (or have already done so), follow the steps under
“Removing the Subassembly,” below. You must remove the

entire subassembly from the computer before you can access a

drive in a horizontal drive bay.
