SSD and ODD drives that fit to the upper side of the tray require brackets to be attached first. If you purchased the OPTICAL version of the FC8, it will include an
optical drive mounting bracket, otherwise the kit will include and extra set of 2.5" mounting brackets (2 for each drive).
For the 2.5" drive, fit 2 brackets per drive as shown above. The brackets are identical and reversible, so it does not matter which one is used for which side. If you
are installing 2 x 2.5" drives to the upper side of the tray, fit the brackets to both drives.
If you are installing an optical drive, secure it to the optical drive bracket using the 4 x 2mm screws supplied. Before fully tightening the screws, position the drive as
far forward as possible without the eject button being depressed. If the screws meet any resistance (from internal components of the optical drive), do NOT
tighten that screw any further, it could damage the mechanism. Once secured to the bracket, test the eject button can function correctly. Depending on the eject
button position and height, a rubber pad might need to be affixed between eject bar and drive eject button. The pads can either be applied directly to the drives
eject button, or to the opposite side of the eject button, or both sides, whichever gives the best result.
