plastic parts. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the maintenance instructions.
Cables and connectors
CAUTION: When servicing the docking station, be sure that cables are placed in their proper locations during the reassembly
Ä
process. Improper cable placement can damage the docking station or the attached computer.
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to unseat or seat the
cables during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid
bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Be sure that cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught or
snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables tear easily.

2. Insert the hard drive 1 into the hard drive bay until the drive is fully seated.
If the hard drive light 2 does not turn on, reseat the hard drive.
✎
3. Replace the hard drive security screw 3.
4. Connect the hard drive to dedicated external AC power.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment:
Å
■ Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
■ Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.
■ If provided with a 3-pin attachment plug on the power cord, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed) 3-pin outlet. Do not
disable the power grounding pin, for example, by attaching a 2-pin adapter. The grounding pin is an important safety
feature. It is possible to receive an electric shock from a system that is not properly grounded.
a. Connect the hard drive AC adapter to the hard drive power connector 1 on the docking station.
b. Connect the power cord to the AC adapter 2.
