2.    Assembling Your Kanguru QSX

Please read these instructions carefully and make sure that you understand them before assembling 

your QSX. You may want to print a copy of these instruction to help facilitate the assembly process.

Things to remember:

Assembly will take approximately 15-20 minutes. 

• 

Hard  drives  are  electronic  devices.  When  handling  bare  drives,  please  be  aware  that  static 

• 

electricity  may damage your hard drive. Please discharge any static electricity before assembling 

by touching a metal frame or using electrostatic prevention bands.

SATA HDD connectors have a guaranteed number of times for connection/removal, specified  

• 

by the manufacturer. If an HDD is connected/removed more than this number of times, the 

quality of the HDD connection cannot be guaranteed. Minimize the number of times you connect 

HDDs.

The QSX is only compatible with SATA HDDs. HDDs based on other standards such as IDE 

• 

(PATA) HDD, SCSI HDD or SAS HDD cannot be connected.

To assemble your Kanguru QSX:

Place the QSX Enclosure on its side with the bottom of the enclosure facing you. Remove the 

1. 

two screws located at the middle. This will release the Backplate/HDD Bracket assembly from 

the housing. Set aside the two screws in a secure location, you will need them later.
