INSTALLATION

2.1 ASSEMBLY

This section describes the process of installing drives into the miniStack STX. If you purchased the miniStack 

STX with drives pre-installed, please proceed to section 1.7 OWC Drive Guide. The Installation video can be 

watched by visiting 

go.owc.com/ministackstx/install

. 

Required Tools: Philips PH02 Driver

INSTALLATION

1.  Place the miniStack STX upside-down and remove the four 

screws on the bottom side of the outer case.

2.  While gripping the miniStack place it right-side up with the OWC 

logo facing forward. Slowly life the top case off from back  

to front. NOTE: There is a cable clipped inside to the outer case 

and connected near the NVMe M.2 SSD circuit board. Opening 

slowly helps prevent unintendedly disconnecting the cable. 

3.  Carefully remove the cable from the routing clip. Then carefully 

disconnect the cable by pulling on the cable connector near  

the NVMe M.2 SSD circuit board. Please do not directly pull  

on the cable. 

4.  Drive Installation (Note: Either a 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drive  

and a NVMe M.2 SSD can be installed.)

A.  Place the 3.5-Inch drive into the chassis and connect 

into the SATA connector on the circuit board. Make sure 

the drive is fully seated. Secure the drive from the inside 

using the included HDD Mounting Screws. Turn over the 

miniStack and further secure the drive using the HDD 

Mounting Screws. 

B.  Place the 2.5-Inch drive into the chassis and connect  

into the SATA connector on the circuit board. Make sure 

the drive is fully seated. Turn over the miniStack and 

further secure the drive using the SSD Mounting Screws. 

C.  Remove the NVMe M.2 SSD mounting screw and insert  

a NVMe M.2 SSD fully into the connector at a slight angle. 

Press the NVMe M.2 SSD down so the drive’s notch fits 

around the mounting post. Secure the drive by using the 

NVMe M.2 SSD mounting screw that was first removed.

5.  Carefully place the cable back into the cable routing clip.  

Then carefully connect the cable back into the connection  

near the NVMe M.2 SSD circuit board. 

6.  Place the top case back on the miniStack from front to  

back and while gripping, flip the unit upside down. Secure  

the miniStack by using the four removed case screws. 

7.  Move onto Mac & PC Formatting found in Section 3.2  

to complete the setup of the miniStack STX drive(s).
