Caution!
Hard drives should be handled carefully, especially when you transport them.
If you’re not careful with your drives, you may experience lost or corrupted data.
1. Slide the Release button on one of the Doors on the mobile rack.
2. Position the hard drive so that the label faces upwards and the rear panel of the
hard drive is aimed towards the inside of the computer.
3. Gently push the hard drive into the mobile rack.
4. Close the Door on the mobile rack and make sure that it clicks shut.
Warning!
Do not forcibly close the Door on the mobile rack. If you encounter

Remove the hard drive and make sure that it’s inserted correctly.
