Setting Up The Expansion Bay

Adding A Hard Drive To Bay #2 & 3

1. Plug in the SATA power connector and SATA data 

connector into the hard drive (Figure 3.5).

 

Do not force in the connectors. The connectors are 
designed to go in one way only.

2. Lower the hard drive into the bay.
3. Clasp your hand on the hard drive and the casing 

(Figure 3.6).

4. Flip the unit upside down while clasping the hard 

drive with your hands (Figure 3.7).

5. Screw in the four corresponding hard drive screws 

underneath the unit to secure.

Removing A Hard Drive from Bay #2 & 3

1. Flip the unit upside down with the silver screws 

facing up.

2. Clasp your hand on the hard drive and the casing. 

This prevents the hard drive from falling when you 
unscrew it from the case.

3. Remove the four corresponding silver screws.
4. With your hands still clasping the hard drive, flip the 

unit upright.

5. Unplug the SATA power cord and SATA data cord.

SATA Connectors

Sata connectors are designed to connect one way only. 
The connector with the flat, red cable is the data 
connector. The wider connector with the red and black 
wires is the power connector.

Hard Drive Rotation Speeds

If you are setting up the expansion bay in Mirror mode, 
the hard drives must be at least 7200 RPM. Hard drives 
slower than 7200 RPM are not recommended.

 

Setup Tips

• 

Ground yourself

 from static electricity before 

handling the hard drive. Static electricity may damage hard drives and electronic components.

• 

Keep the exhaust vents clear

. The exhaust fans draw hot air out of the casing and cools the 

hard drive.

• 

Add a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) (Optional) 

to ensure that power outtages do not 

shut off your main system. A UPS can reduce or prevent damage to your equipment from 
sudden power surges.

Figure 3.6 Clasp your hands on the hard drive and flip 
over.

Figure 3.7 While holding the hard drive, screw in the 
four screws to secure the hard drive in place.
