Installing a Drive
1. Remove the dummy drive, which comes pre-installed in the drive carrier, by removing
the screws securing the dummy drive to the carrier. These screws are not used to
mount the actual drive.

2. Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connector end
toward the rear of the carrier. Align the drive in the carrier so that the screw holes line
up. Note that there are holes in the carrier marked “SATA” to aid in correct installation.
3. Secure the drive to the carrier with two M3 screws. These screws are included in the
chassis accessory box.
4. Insert the drive carrier with the disk drive into its bay, keeping the carrier oriented so
that the hard drive is on the top of the carrier and the release button is on the right side.
When the carrier reaches the rear of the bay, the release handle will retract.
5. Push the handle in until it clicks into its locked position.
