You can increase the performance and security of your StarTech.com mid-tower ATX
case with additional products from StarTech.com. Please visit our website for more
details and purchasing information.
Installing a Hard Drive Shock Absorber Kit
The hard drive shock kit (StarTech.com ID: 8300SHOCKKIT) is an excellent way to
extend the life of your hard drive. The rubber buffers reduce the system vibrations caused
by high RPM drives. This kit is also ideal for people who have to frequently move their
PCs.
NOTE:
For detailed instructions on how to install a hard disk drive, see “Installing a Hard
Disk Drive” on page 5.
1. Ease the rubber buffer into the holes on the hard disk bracket. Make sure that the
buffer is visible on both sides of the bracket.
2. Place the metal button concave-side-up (so that it looks like a bowl) against the buffer
on the outside of the bracket.
3. Insert a screw through the button, buffer, and bracket to attach the bracket to the
hard drive. Repeat for the three other holes.
Installing an Extra 3.5” Drive Bay
With the StarTech.com 8300HDDKIT, you can add two extra 3.5” drive bays to your
system without increasing the case size.
1. Separate the bracket from the stand by lifting the black tab and sliding the bracket
away from the stand.
2. With your system turned off, unplugged, and standing upright, remove the side
panel.
3. Slide the tabs on the stand into the two slots on the bottom of the case.
4. Make sure that the holes in the stand are aligned with the holes in the bottom of the
case and use the screw to attach the stand to the case, with the head of the screws
