Was du brauchst

    • Drehe das Gerät um, um an die Gummiabdeckung der Rückplatte zu gelangen. Schiebe vorsichtig die stumpfe Spitze des Metall-Spudgers in den Spalt zwischen Aluminium-Rückplatte und Gummiabdeckung, um die beiden Teile voneinander zu lösen.

    • Das Gummi zu entfernen kann einige Minuten dauern. Sobald du das Gummi komplett greifen kannst, ist es einfacher mit der Hand zu entfernen.

    • Kümmere dich nicht darum, neuen Kleber auf das Gummi aufzutragen, der noch vorhandene Kleber darauf reicht völlig aus, um die Gummiabdeckung wieder auf das Aluminium zu kleben.

    The epoxy cementing the rubber pad to the aluminum base is a lot stronger than the rubber itself. The rubber is likely to tear as you remove it; I had to use a putty knife to clear the screws. It's worth hanging onto the branding near the Ethernet ports, for future identification (model number, serial number, Ethernet ID, AirPort ID); you can fashion a replacement pad out of neoprene rubber.

    Mine completely ripped I have no back cover now its in multiple pieces…. mine was giving off way to much heat and hard drive errors so I decided to replace hard drive and fan wish me luck BUT if yours is overheating do not expect to get back off without ripping the rubber to

    William - Antwort

    Using a fan to heat the plate up was helpful

    Michael Zimmermann - Antwort

    I wish I read Michael Zimmermann’s suggestion before I tore the first half into about 15 pieces! On the second half I used a hair dryer to heat the rubber. With enough heat and a very slow steady pull on the rubber it came of as a single piece :-)

    mfred2 - Antwort

    Do I need to put back on the rubber? will it overheat if I don’t?

    Strider - Antwort

    It is almost impossible to keep the bottom rubber covering intact in one piece. The rubber is covering the whole base section and it won’t be a problem without it I guess. This is not an epoxy because it is still gummy and sticky. This is like the adhesive used on the double side tapes. Goo Gone worked well to remove those residues.

    Kenn Sakurai - Antwort

    The rubber cap like bottom can be replaced with easy to cut in shape cork sheet will do. Just rip off the thin strip where the serial number for the ID and other info that might be needed later. Have it glued or put on a clear tape and put it on the side of the white plastic sidewall will do.

    Kenn Sakurai - Antwort

    With age, the rubber becomes brittle. It is best to heat it up with a hair dryer before trying to gently peel it off.

    SirDeck - Antwort

    Mine was probably about 10 years old at this point. I used a clothes iron (flatiron) set on medium heat ("permanent press"), and a piece of "parchment paper" from the kitchen between iron and rubber. After 30 seconds or so, the glue was softened enough that I could lift off the rubber, a little at a time using a putty knife. It all came off in one piece, with essentially all the glue still attached to the rubber. My thanks to the person (forgot the name, it was on one of the "drive replacement" articles for one of the other model Time Capsules) who suggested the iron.

    • Entferne die zehn 3 mm Schrauben mit einem #00 PH Kreuzschlitzschraubendreher.

    • Die Schrauben, die mit Klebefolie bedeckt sind, brauchen nicht entfernt zu werden.

    The two screws in the top center of this picture should not be removed at this time. They are locating pins on the hard drive.

    neil.davenport - Antwort

    Correct - the four screws top centre with glue over then do not need to come out. They are only locating posts for the HDD.

    Tony Meredith - Antwort

    There are twelve screws marked in that picture. AFAIK only ten need removing. The two in the middle of the top edge don’t need removing

    Shimbo - Antwort

    CONFIRMED. Thank you very much for the screws which should not be removed. You guys are right.

    • Der Lüfter ist auf der Rückplatte befestigt und mit dem Logic Board verbunden. Hier muss ein kleines Kabel entfernt werden, um die Rückplatte komplett zu entfernen.

    • Ziehe das Kabel vorsichtig in Richtung Logic Board, um den Stecker zu lösen.

    Be careful you do not rip the locating connector off the circuit board like I did.

    David “Milky” Millward - Antwort

    Do not disconnect the fan for a simple change of hard drive. With age, the connector becomes very fragile.

    • Ziehe den mit Klebstoff versehenen Schaumstoff von der Oberseite des Laufwerks ab.

    • Hebe das Laufwerk gerade nach oben aus dem Gerät heraus.

    Probably worth noting that the adhesive backed foam is covering what appears to be a temperature sensor which is stuck to the drive. That needs to be removed and installed on the new drive too. In addition there are pins and rubber boots (which may still be attached to the metal cover removed in step 2) on the drive which need to be transferred to the new drive. I couldn't unscrew them from my drive and had to use pliers to loosen them.

    neil.davenport - Antwort

    One should also remove the 4 distance pieces/spacers (2 aluminum screws [P1] on each side of the hard drive).

    Lars Clasen - Antwort

    No need to remove the distance spacers, the drive will come out anyway.

    Tony Meredith - Antwort

    Correct, but they will be needed on the new drive.

    Paul Koning -

    On mine, the four metal spacers are on the bottom of the drive, as indicated in the picture above, and are drivable with a Phillips screwdriver.

    • Entferne den SATA Stecker sowie den Stromstecker vom Ende der Festplatte, indem du die Kabel einfach gerade von den Anschlusspunkten abziehst.

    In the photo showing the bottom of the capsule and the 12 circled screws: only 10 need to be removed (as the instructions say). In this step, do not remove the 2 screws at the top center.

    After the hard drive is removed, unscrew the 4 standoffs from the old drive and transfer them to the new hard drive. Be sure to account for all 4 grey rubber "o-rings" that go on these standoffs.

    Reassemble.

    Format the new drive using Airport Utility.

    davec2468 - Antwort

    Once the hard drive is removed, can it be installed in an aftermarket enclosure and using as an external drive.

    Fred McFaddin - Antwort

    That is my question too. I have one of these and I want to put the hard drive in my iMac. Will that work?

What’s the max hard drive a Time Machine can take?

ice2257 - Antwort

This answer: What's the biggest HDD that will fit on my Time Capsule? suggests that you can use pretty much any available drive. If it could take a 4TB in 2014 (one of the answers), I don’t think there would be any limit practically speaking.

odaiwai - Antwort

Great guide. One note. My unit was quite old and the rubber mat was brittle. Even with a heat gun and spudger I still tore it in several places. This might be avoided by heating up a cloth in a microwave first and applying it to the rubber before beginning to pull it off. Just a thought.

wfstapleton - Antwort

I’m not seeing a guide for the Apple Time Capsule 2TB MC344LLA / A1355 so I’ll have to see which one is closer to my model when it arrives,

But in the meantime has anyone been able to upgrade the hard drive past 2TB without any issues?

Is a Firmware update needed to do so?

David Bell - Antwort

I installed a 3 TB about 7 years ago in mine. i’m here now because I can’t get it to power on.

What do you think is the highest size of a drive that can be supported in this device without hacking and sawing? Do you think we can get a 18.0TB Toshiba MG09ACA Series into it?

SkipR - Antwort

Skip, no idea whether the software would be happy with that size, but the specs I found for it say it's 1 inch thick which matches the 1 TB Toshiba drive I just pulled out of my unit. So mechanically it seems like it would fit.

Paul Koning -

I'm partway through this procedure -- the description is really clear and helpful. I used a suggestion in one of the other articles, to use an iron rather than a hair dryer. Works perfectly.

I noticed the vent holes on the three sides of the base are covered up by the rubber foot pad. That makes no sense. Scissors cut easily through the material, so now I have them exposed. I'm not sure how much difference that will make but clearly it can't hurt. Keeping hard drives cool is critical to their endurance.

Paul Koning - Antwort

Thanks for the message, Paul. I always wondered whether there was any ventilation because one of my Time Capsules failed because of overheating. Apple replaced it, even though it was well over the warranty period.

I now use a fan under the new unit to keep it cooler. So far, it works.
