Step 16: Carefully remove the
ribbon cable connector from the
hard drive.
Caution: Note that the ribbon cable connector does not attach to
the “Group B” pins in the diagram on the next page. The same is
true when you re-attach the connector to the new drive.
• Reverse the relevant previous steps to reassemble the computer.
Congratulations! You have completed the hardware installation of your
new PowerBook hard drive upgrade.
Note: It is normal for usable hard drive capacities to be reduced
by 5-7% upon initialization of the drive. Also, your drive ships
preformatted and initialized, but does not include system soft-
ware on it. If you have the appropriate hardware, such as the
MCE DataShuttle Xtreme PC Card Kit, you may transfer the
data from the original internal hard drive to the new internal hard
drive. If not, you may need to re-install your system software
and other applications from the original disks or CD-ROM disc.
Consult the manual(s) that came with your PowerBook for
details.
