Securing the hard disk

Carefully lift the system unit back into its upright position.
Replace the system unit cover (see “Replacing the cover”).

Replace the power supply in the system unit. If you
disconnected any cables, reconnect them. Secure the power
supply with the four screws you removed earlier.

Run the Setup utility to set your new configuration. See
“Setup Utility” in the “Advanced Topics” category of your
NEC Help Center.

This completes your 3 1/2-inch device installation!
