2.2 Installing a 2.5 Inch SATA Drive
1. To install a 2.5 inch SATA drive into
the Multi-Mount, place the drive
in front of you, with the SATA and
power ports facing to the right (as
shown at right). Position the two
drive brackets as shown.
2. Use the large Phillips screws (pre-attached) to affix the drive to the front bracket
(highlighted in red). Each screw hole also has a grommet that is pre-attached to the
bracket. The grommets are used for vibration reduction; do not remove them.
3. Rotate the drive and brackets then affix the the rear bracket using the large Phillips
screws. Make sure all four screws are tightened. The 2.5 inch Multi-Mount assembly
is now ready to be installed into a 3.5 inch drive bay or the 3.5 inch brackets.
2.3 Installing Two 2.5 Inch SATA Drives
You can install two 2.5 inch SATA drives onto the 3.5 inch drive brackets. Note the
orientation of the two types of brackets, shown below-left. The same screw holes are
used to affixed 2.5 inch drive assemblies and 3.5 inch drives (
see Section 2.1
).
2.4 Combining 2.5 and 3.5 Inch Drives
The image at right shows a hybrid
configuration that includes a 2.5 inch and
a 3.5 inch SATA drive. When installing the
2.5 inch drive assembly into the 3.5 inch
backets, be sure to orient the assembly
so that the ports on both drives are facing
the same direction, as shown at right.
