Just got my 250GB hard drive. A tad confussed - easily done!!
Have opened up the DM600 (4 screws off)
Have removed the support tray for hard disk (2 screws off)
Q1 - I presume that the drive sits on tray with circuit board down, label up, this allow holes in hard drive to align with those on tray. Are there any spare screws so that I can secure the hard drive to tray, or do I need to purchase?
Q2 - The ribbon connection - am I right in saying that the last 4 pins (2 rows of 2) that are not directly adjacent to other pins on the hard drive do not connect to the ribbon, as ribbon plug looks only long enough for the 2rows of 22pins?
Q3 - should the pins on hard drive be facing to the right, when looking at DM600 from the front (doesn't appear long enough if mounting the hard drive the other way around)? If so, the ribbon looks like it is too long, looks hard to hide the excess ribbon length without interfering with the enclosure? Do you fold the excess under the hard drive tray or am I missing something?
HELP ME PLEASE
