Installing the Hard Disk

CAUTION

  • Do not touch the inside of the controller board compartment. It may cause a machine malfunction or a burn.

Important

  • Before beginning work, ground yourself by touching something metal to discharge any static electricity. Static electricity can damage the hard disk.

  • Do not subject the hard disk to physical shocks.

  • When installing the SDRAM module, hard disk, and wireless LAN interface board together, install them in the following order: SDRAM module, hard disk, wireless LAN board. If the wireless LAN interface board is already installed, remove it before installing the hard disk.

  • Install the hard disk carefully if the SDRAM module is already installed. If the hard disk comes in contact with the SDRAM module, the SDRAM module may become damaged.

  • Before using the new hard disk, you must configure settings in the printer driver.
