Installing a Drive into the Adapter
Warning! Drives and Adapters should be handled carefully,
especially when they are transported. If you are not careful
with your drives, you may lose data as a result. Make sure
that you’re properly grounded when handling a Drive or
Adapter.

Installation Holes that match the height of the Drive. If the

the correct position, proceed to step 6.

in place while using a Phillips Head Screwdriver to remove
the Screw on the back of the Adapter. Then use the Phillips
Head Screwdriver to remove the Screw on the front of the
Adapter.
3. Remove the Stando.
4. Repeat steps 2 - 3 to remove the second Stando and
Stando Installation Screw.
