NOTICE: Use firm and even pressure to slide the drive into place. If you use excessive force, you may damage the connector.
2. Seat the new hard drive into the bay, and then slide it into the connector by sliding it toward the screw holes until it is fully seated.
3. Replace the cover and tighten the screws.
4. Install the operating system for your computer, using the Operating System CD.
