1) Installation and startup
Note: Care should be taken when working on an open computer. A paperclip inside the housing can short the moth-
erboard when the computer is turned on and cause data loss or damage the hardware. Whenever you change the
hardware, first backup your data on a different medium such as an external hard disk or another data carrier.

frame, or unlock the locking mechanism. Remove the housing (see Fig. 1).
Note: Before you remove the housing, make sure and pull the power plug for your computer and pull the plugs
of all the connected peripherals. It is not enough to turn off the computer since individual components may
still be powered which can cause a shock.

Note: Insert the hard disk with the electronics facing downward (see Fig. 2).
