Replacing the Hard Drive
To replace the drive:
1. Slide in a drive until the cartridge seats inside the front panel. Press in firmly with your
thumbs on both sides of the drive faceplate.
2. Insert the drive key, turn clockwise by ¼ turn until the drive lock is in the locked position.
If the drive is properly seated the key lock should move easily from 12 to 3 o’clock.
Do not try to force the locking mechanism in order to seat the drive.
