Caution To avoid personal injury or damage to the computer or tape drive, ensure that the computer is
disconnected from the mains while you install the drive.
Static electricity can damage electronic components. Always wear an antistatic wriststrap if one is
available. If not, after you have disconnected power from the computer and removed the cover,
touch a bare metal part of the chassis. Similarly, touch a bare metal part of the drive before
installing it.
1 Assemble the necessary tools and materials:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat-bladed screwdriver (if your computer uses slotted screws)
• Torx screwdriver (if your computer uses torx screws)
• Your computer manuals (for reference during installation)
2 Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the computer and any connected peripherals.
3 Remove the computer’s cover (as shown in figures 2a to 2d) and front panel (as detailed in your
computer’s documentation).
As you work inside the computer, you may have to disconnect the SCSI cable or power cable from
other devices to maneuver the new drive into place. If you have to do this, make a note of their
position and connections so you can put them back correctly later.
4 Remove the front filler panel from a full-height, 5¼-inch bay of your computer, as described in your
computer’s documentation. Keep any screws for use in step 6 on page 17.
