Installing a 2.5" SATA Drive
The SATA drive bay can be easily accessed witout opening the system. However,
the system does not support hot-swapping hard drives; turn off the system first
before proceeding with the following procedure for installing a SATA drive.
1. Locate the drive bay on the front panel and open it by releasing the handle.
2. Slide the HDD into the drive bay. Note that the HDD should be positioned
vertically with the SATA power connector on top of the data connector to
correctly engage with the system's SATA connectors. Then close the drive bay
and lock the handle.

cannot fit SATA drives with other sizes.
2.
Do not force to close the drive bay if the HDD is not correctly inserted.
