front panel of the bay, to the left. Gently press the cover of the Drive Bay until you

pull the Drive Bay from the enclosure.
3. Align the screwholes provided on the base of the Drive Bay, with the screws provided

Bay removed in step 2, using the included screws as necessary.
4. Once the drive has been secured to the Drive Bay, replace the Drive Bay by gently
sliding it into the empty slot, ensuring the Drive Bay is properly resting on the internal
guide rails provided. The SATA data and power connectors located on the back of the
hard drive should be in direct contact with the connectors located internally at the
back of the enclosure.

the other drive bays.

released from the enclosure.

Door. Optionally, you can lock the Front Panel Door in place, using the keys provided,
by turning the lock 1/4 turn in a clockwise direction.
