2.7.2 Installing an IDE HDD
If your system is an IDE model, your package comes with specially
designed hard disk drive rails. Depending on which bay you wish to install
your hard disk drive, the orientation of the drive rails vary so that the screw
holes match those on the drive.
For identification purposes, the drive rails will be referred to as “Rail 1”
and “Rail 2” as shown below.
Installing into a bay on the first drive cage
To install a drive from the front panel opening:
1. Remove the front panel assembly. Refer to section 2.5.1 for
instructions.
2. Use a Phillips (cross) screwdriver to attach Rail 1 to the side of the
drive as shown. The rail end should be on the side of the drive
connectors.

second drive cages.
