2. 

Level the HDD module cage latch counterclockwise. 

3. 

Insert the HDD module cage into the bay.

4. 

When the HDD module cage is completely inserted, the cage latch will be pushed back 

clockwise.

5. 

Lock the cage latch properly.

6. 

Connect the appropriate cables to the SATA/SAS backplane on the HDD module cage.
