Installing Components in the 3.5" Drive Bays
1. Drive bay confi guration
The 6015B-Ni has three 3.5" drive bays designed to house hard disk drives.
2. Mounting components in the drive bays
First power down the system, remove the AC power cord from the power supply
and then remove the top chassis cover to access the drive bays. With the cover
off, remove the single screw that secures the drive carrier to the chassis then push
the entire empty drive carrier out from the back (see Figure 6-4).
Adding a hard disk drive: to add a hard disk drive, install it into one of the removed
empty drive carriers with the printed circuit board side toward the carrier (down) so
that the drive's mounting holes align with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to
the carrier with the screws, then slide the assembly into the bay and secure it to
the chassis with the drive carrier screw you fi rst removed. Attach the power and
data cables to the drive. Replace the top chassis cover and the AC power cord
before restoring power to the system.
Note: A red wire typically designates the location of pin 1. You should keep the
drive carriers installed in any unused drive bays (even if empty) to reduce EMI and
noise and to facilitate the airfl ow inside the chassis.
