Installing Hard Disk Drive (2 ½”)
1. If the HDD tray is not already removed from the ReadyBox enclosure, do so before continuing.
2. Remove the four screws holding the HDD tray assembly together. See Figure 3-11.
3. If you want the HDD shock mounted, place the lower rubber shock mount into the tray base and
lay the hard disk drive (2 ½”) into the shock mount.
If you do not shock mount the HDD, there are four screw holes for mounting the HDD to the
HDD tray base. However, no screws are provided as these are typically provided with the HDD.
4. Connect the 44-pin IDE cable to the hard disk drive (2 ½”) by lining up the pin-1 indicator on the
disk drive with the red strip on the IDE cable.
Refer to the pin-1 label or marker on the underside of the hard disk drive (2 ½”). You may need
to connect a jumper or change a jumper position if indicated on the drive.
NOTE The hard disk drive (2 ½”) does not require external power because
the 44-pin cable provides +5V and ground to the drive.
5. Place the upper rubber shock mount onto the HDD (2 ½”) and place the upper tray onto the shock
mount.
Ensure the IDE cable is held between the two halves of the HDD tray before inserting the screws
and tighten the assembly.
6. Install the four screws into the respective securing holes.
