1. Take the control off the machine and put it on a bench. Please have this area clean and static free. If you do not know how to assure no problems from static charges, contact your factory representative.

2 Remove the computer from the control:

Old style computers: This is the type where the computer sits in a compartment in the lower half of the control. The computer can be pulled out easily. Controls with no serial # or ones with nnnnA, nnnnG, and nnnnG2. To take the computer out of the control first remove the keyboard assembly from the face. If there is a problem with doing this, contact the factory.

New style controls: This is the type where in order to get to the motherboard, you must take the control apart and the motherboard is attached directly to the sheetmetal of the control. S/Ns have nnnnG3n. Split the control in half so you can work on the lower section. If there is a problem with doing this, contact the factory.

3. Attach the hard disk

Old style computers: Use two strips of Velcro tape and mount the disk as shown in fig 1.a

New style computers: Use two strips of Velcro tape and mount the disk as shown in fig 1.b

8. Install the cable between the hard disk and the computer:

Old style control - The cable plugs into a card mounted horizontally to the vertical bus card. The card is located as shown in fig. 8.

Note: You might have to pull the card out of the control to get at the socket. To get pull the card out you may have to pull out the power supply. This is not difficult, just don't lose the screws.

The card looks like fig 6. The hard disk cable goes onto the socket on the edge of the card.

The socket has a 1/2 marked at the end of the pins. Make sure the Red side of the cable goes here.
