Installing a Hard Drive into a 5.25-inch Drive Bay
To install a 3.5-inch drive into the half-height, 5.25-inch drive bay, the
drive must be in an adapter. To install the drive and adapter:
1.
Turn off the workstation and any external drives. Disconnect the
power cord from the grounded AC outlet. Then remove the
workstation access panel.
On a power-managed system, the power cord must be
disconnected from the grounded AC outlet.
2.
Install the four screws into the drive as shown in the following
illustration to secure the drive to the bracket.
3.
Install the guide screws into the hard drive bracket.
4.
Install the adapter in the drive bay by sliding it into the front of the
drive cage. The drivelock automatically secures the adapter when
it snaps into place.
✎
The primary 3.5-inch diskette drive should only be installed
into bay 3, which is the bottom bay in the minitower
configuration and the top bay in the desktop configuration.
