Installing a Drive

Warning! Drives should be handled carefully, especially when they’re transported. If

you’re not careful with your drives, you may lose data as a result.

1. Using a Phillips Head Screwdriver, remove the Drive-Tray Screws (x 2) from the

Enclosure and remove the Cover Plate.

2. Carefully pull the Drive Tray out of the Enclosure.

3. Place the Drive next to the Drive Tray and align the screw groove on the Drive with

the Adjustable Drive Length Holes on the Drive Tray.

Note: If the drive-mount hardware is already installed in the correct position, proceed

to step 6.

4. Use a Phillips Head Screwdriver (included) and a set of Pliers to remove the Drive-

Mount Screw, Stando, and Nut.

5. Insert the Stando and Nut into the correct Adjustable Drive Length Hole (80, 60,

42, or 30) according to the length of the Drive.

6. Using a set of Pliers tighten the Stando and Nut.

7. Gently slide the connector on the Drive (on a 30-degree angle) into the

corresponding connector on the Enclosure.

Note: The connector on your drive is keyed so that it only ts one way.

8. Lightly push the Drive down into position on the circuit board.

9. Insert the Drive-Mount Screw through the screw groove on the Drive and into the

Stando.
