Preparing for First Installation
If you are installing the first hard drive in the unit, you may find it helpful
to remove the power supply from the unit and to disconnect several cables
so that you can more easily install the new hard drive and attach its cable
to the riser card.
To prepare for first installation of a hard drive, follow these steps:
1. Locate the power supply in the lower right portion of the mainte-
nance compartment. The power supply is shown in Figure 2 on
page 2.
2. Disconnect the cables at the left and right sides of the power sup-
ply, as shown in Figure 4.

Important Each set of cables is gathered in a cable harness, and each
harness has a plastic tab that you must pull back in order to
detach the harness.
3. Place the entire RS9/RSPC9 unit on its back so that the bottom of
the unit is facing you.
4. While holding the power supply in place, remove the four retain-
ing screws that secure the power supply to the bottom of the unit.
These screws (1, 2, 3, and 4) are shown in Figure 5 on page 5.
Important These four screws are of different sizes, and two (screws 1 and
2) are secured by nuts on the inside of the unit. Be sure to
capture the nutswhen you remove the screws. When you install
the new power supply, replace the same sizescrews in the same
locations as the ones you removed.
