When you are installing drives in the Nearchive enclosure, begin the installation at the

Do not force a drive into a slot. If you are having problems installing a drive, make sure
that it is level and flat as you insert it into the enclosure, that the drive carrier latch is
open and at a 45-degree angle to the drive carrier, and that the lock on the left of the
drive carrier is in the unlocked (down) position.
5. Slide the drive into the open drive slot in the Nearchive enclosure until it stops moving.
Approximately 1/2 inch of the drive carrier should be outside the Nearchive enclosure.
6. Push the purple handle into the drive carrier. This seats the drive in the Nearchive
enclosure. You’ll hear a click when the drive is fully seated and the handle latches in
place.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the remaining drives.
