Installing a 3.5" Drive
1. Remove the dummy drive, which comes pre-installed in the drive carrier. Pull out the two
locking clasps on the right outside of the carrier and lift out the dummy drive.
2.
Position the drive above the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connector
end toward the rear of the carrier.
3. Tilt the drive to insert it onto the two posts on the left inside of the carrier.
4. Push the right side of the drive fully into the carrier and allow the two spring locking
clasps to secure the drive.
5. Insert the drive carrier into its bay, keeping the release button on the right. When the
carrier reaches the rear of the bay, the release handle will retract.
