Installing the Hard Drives

Depending on the type of components fitted, you can 
install a maximum of 1 x 3.5" + 1 x 2.5" or 3 x 2.5" 
hard drives.

If fitting a 3.5" hard drive, there are a 4 positions and 
2  orientations  that  can  be  used  as  shown  in  the 
diagram. Select a location and orientation that best 
suits component and cabling requirements. 

Rubber pads supplied can be affixed to the mounting 
holes used in order to reduce mechanical vibration 
(if SSD’s are not used).

The  primary  2.5"  hard  drive  can  be  mounted 
vertically using 2 screws. Ensure that the HDD 
connectors  are  facing  toward  the  back  of  the 
chassis.  Please  note  that  if  you  are  using  a 
60mm fan, a 90 degree power/sata connector 
must be used to avoid conflict with the fan.

If not installing a 3.5" hard drive, 2 x 2.5" hard 
drives  can  be  fitted  horizontally  as  shown. 
There  are  a  total  of  3  mounting  positions 
available  for  the  2.5"  drives  which  can  be 
selected  depending  on  how  many  drives  are 
used and positioning requirements.
