The following two pages explain how to utilize the space beneath the
computer to install Thunderbolt or USB SSDs or other accessories. If you are
not going to install an accessory, skip to page 15.
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws securing the accessory
space cover plate to the back of the enclosure beneath the computer,
and then set the screws and plates aside (Figure 12).
2. OPTIONAL STEP: If you are installing something other a spinning
drive (and you need to secure it), remove the protective backing from
the supplied magnet and then apply it to the bottom of the device
(Figure 13).
Support Notes: If the rack or case the xMac Studio is installed in
will be moved around, you should secure any drives or other devices
you install inside the enclosure. If you are installing spinning drives, you should
use double-sided tape (sold separately) to secure them. If you are installing
SSDs or some other device, you may use the included self-adhesive magnet to
secure them. Do not use the supplied magnet to secure spinning drives.
If necessary, the magnet may be cut to size to fit the devices they are
attached to.
