How to Install a SCSI Hard Disk

1. Open the computer door.

2. Open the metal door protecting the hard disk drive cages.

3. Select the slot in the hard disk drive cage where you intend to install the new SCSI drive.

4. Pull up on the bottom of the plastic latch and gently pull up on the carrier handle, disengaging the latch that secures the carrier to the cage.

5. Remove the empty drive carrier from the slot in the hard disk drive cage.

   

6. Remove the four screws securing the plastic air baffle to the drive carrier, then remove the air baffle. Save the baffle for possible future use.

   

7. Remove the 3.5-inch hard drive from its wrapper and place it on an antistatic surface.

8. Orient the drive carrier so the latch is toward you and the rails are down.

9. Place the drive in the drive carrier so the connector is to the rear of the drive carrier and the drive label is up.

   

10. Attach the drive to the drive carrier using the four screws previously removed.

11. Holding the assembly by the drive carrier, position it so that it engages the hard disk drive cage guide rails of the open drive slot.

12. Lift the plastic latch to the fully open position and firmly push the drive into the bay. When the plastic latch engages the locking slot in the hard disk drive cage, push it down until it snaps into place.

13. Close the metal door protecting the hard disk drive cages, then close the system door.
