Installing the Hard Disk

This section explains how to install the hard disk in the basic model.

A hard disk is pre-installed in the HDD standard model.

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 hard disk and wireless LAN interface board together, install the hard disk first, and then install the 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.
