5. Connect the power cable (1) and data cable (2) to the back of the hard drive.
Figure 8-29 Connecting the Hard Drive Cables
CAUTION: Never crease or bend a SATA data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius. A
sharp bend can break the internal wires.
6. If installing a new drive, connect the opposite end of the data cable to the appropriate system board
connector.
NOTE: If your system has only one SATA hard drive, you must connect the hard drive data cable
to the dark blue connector labeled SATA0 to avoid any hard drive performance problems. If you
are adding a second hard drive, connect the data cable to the next available (unpopulated) SATA
connector on the system board in the following order: SATA0, SATA1, SATA2, SATA3.
7. Route the power and data cables in their cable retainers.
Removing and Replacing a Removable 3.5-inch SATA Hard Drive
Some models are equipped with a Removable SATA Hard Drive Enclosure in the 5.25-inch external
drive bay. The hard drive is housed in a carrier that can be quickly and easily removed from the drive
bay. To remove and replace a drive in the carrier:
NOTE: Before you remove the old hard drive, be sure to back up the data from the old hard drive so
that you can transfer the data to the new hard drive.
1. Unlock the hard drive carrier with the key provided and slide the carrier out of the enclosure.
