Instructions for add drive upgrade for Sony SVR-3000
A FEW WORDS OF CAUTION:
First and foremost, please be aware that upgrading a TiVo presents a few physical
hazards. As with most consumer electronics devices, components in the TiVo may still
carry a lethal charge, even after disconnecting the power cord. Be aware of this while
working inside your TiVo. Allow sufficient time for discharging of components and avoid
contact as much as possible with potential hazards. While we have done everything we
can to provide accurate, easy-to-follow instructions, we cannot be responsible for any
damage done to your TiVo or to yourself as a result of your upgrade. By opening your
TiVo, you agree that neither Adberg Consulting LLC nor any of its members or affiliates is
responsible in any way for any harm done. Please be VERY careful when upgrading.
NEVER open the TiVo while the unit is plugged in and NEVER operate the TiVo if the lid is
not securely fastened.
Please Note: Opening the TiVo voids the
warranty.
THIS KIT INCLUDES:
1 Hard drive IDE cable
1 Hard drive power cable
1 Set of 4 hard drive screws
1 Upgrade hard drive
1 Set of upgrade instructions
1. OPENING THE TIVO
Unplug the power cord from your electrical outlet
and wait five minutes for the TiVo to discharge. Do
not plug the TiVo back in until you are completely
finished. Be very careful of static electricity, which
can destroy your TiVo's internal parts. You should
not perform this upgrade on carpet.
Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, unscrew the two
screws on the back of your TiVo. The two screws
are surrounded by silver from the top of the TiVo's
lid.

    WeaKnees.com Next, remove the four, large-head screws, two on each side of the unit. Once the six screws are removed, remove the lid. The cover should slide back and then up. Remove the cover from the TiVo, and set it in front of the TiVo unit, top up.
  • Page 3 WeaKnees.com Pick up the hard drive bay and look at the hard drive with the label facing up. Your TiVo’s factory hard drive has a small plastic “jumper” that is located between the IDE cable and the power cable connectors. In a Maxtor hard drive, the jumper should be moved to the furthest left-hand position.
  • Page 4 WeaKnees.com Align your new hard drive on the drive bay, next to the existing hard drive (the new drive sits between the existing drive and the fan, where the existing hard drive was located). Using your hands, screw the screws into each of the four holes. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten the screws.
