DEVICE SETUP
If your OWC ThunderBay 4 mini was purchased with drives included, the four drives have
been installed into their drive trays and have been packed separately from the ThunderBay
4 mini enclosure. If you purchased the ThunderBay 4 mini enclosure by itself without drives,
follow the instructions in
Section 2.1
to install your own drives into the ThunderBay 4 mini.
2.1 HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION
Follow these steps to install hard drives into your ThunderBay 4 enclosure, or to replace
existing drives. Repeat steps 1 through 8 as necessary for each drive you are installing.
1. Insert one of the included keys into the lock on the upper left of the faceplate.
2. Turn the key clockwise, then pull the key towards you. The faceplate will swing open, as
shown.
3. Pull up on the faceplate to remove it.
4. Pull on the tab at the center of an empty drive tray to remove the tray from the enclosure.
5. Set the drive tray as shown on your work surface. If you are replacing an existing drive,
unscrew it from the drive tray at this time.
6. Place your hard drive or SSD inside the drive tray as shown. The label should face up and
the SATA connectors should be on the far rear corner of the drive.
7. Fasten the drive into the drive tray using four of the included Phillips screws.
8. Slide the drive tray back into the rails in the ThunderBay 4 mini and push until it is seated
fully. If you encounter resistance, do not force the drive tray. Remove it, check to make
sure that there are no obstructions and that the drive tray is lined up correctly, then slide
it in again.
