Installing a Hard Drive into a Drive Carrier
1. Remove the four screws securing the dummy drive to the hard drive carrier.
2. Insert a hard drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the
connector end toward the rear of the carrier. Align the hard drive in the hard
drive carrier so that the mounting holes of the carrier are aligned with the
mounting holes of the drive. Note that there are holes in the carrier which are
marked “SATA” to aid in correct installation.
3. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws. Use the M3 flat-head screws
included in the HDD bag of your accessory box. Note: The screws used to
secure the dummy drive to the carrier cannot be used to secure the hard
drive.
4. Insert the hard drive and drive carrier into its bay vertically, keeping the carrier
oriented so that the release button is on the bottom. When the carrier reaches
the rear of the drive bay, the handle will retract.
5. Using your thumb, push against the upper part of the hard drive handle. Push
the hard drive into the hard drive bay as illustrated below, until the hard drive
clicks into the locked position.
