  2. Remove the front bezel to access to drives.

  3. Open the door to a vacant spare drive slot.

  5. Remove the new drive from its anti-static bag and slide it into one of the spare drive slots until the locking handle engages. When the drive is installed, it begins to spin up automatically.

  6. Be sure the drive is installed securely in the slot.

  7. Close the door to the drive slot.

  8. To install a second spare drive, repeat steps 3 through 7 with a second drive and the second drive slot.

  9. Replace the front bezel.

  10. In the Failed Part List, click the Scan for Errors button.
