• Allow the HDD to reach room temperature before installation.
HDD problems may be a result of the following:
• Loose or faulty cable connection
• Faulty HDD
Before you decide to replace the HDD, make sure that the cables are intact and
connected properly. Make sure that the connectors on the HDD and on the
motherboard are intact, aligned properly, and firmly connected to the HDD cable. If
pins are bent, gently straighten them with a pair of needlenose pliers.
