Installing the drive

You must install your new drive in the computer before using your operating
system to partition and format your new drive.
The instructions in this section are general guidelines that apply to most
computers. For specific information on installing a hard disk drive in your
computer, see the documentation that came with your computer.

Step 1. Opening your computer

Before opening your computer, complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Unplug the power cable from the power outlet of your computer and all
other attached devices and cables.
It is now safe to open your computer. For specific information about opening
your computer, see the documentation that came with your computer.

Step 2. Unpacking the drive

Use the following procedure to unpack and handle the drive. To prevent
damage and static-electricity discharge, keep handling to a minimum.
1. Do not open the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the drive. Static
electricity can damage the drive and other computer components.
2. Touch the inner conductive surface of the antistatic bag containing the
drive and your hand to an unpainted metal surface on the computer for
two seconds. This drains static electricity from the bag and from your body.
3. Before handling the drive, ground yourself by touching an unpainted
surface on the computer. Ground yourself again after leaving and returning
to your work area.
