Installing a 3.5" or 2.5" Hard Drive
1.
Place the hard drive carrier on a flat surface.
2. Insert a 3.5" hard drive in an angle into the carrier, so that the mounting holes on the
right side of the drive align with the two stubs in the drive carrier. Insert this side into
the drive carrier first, then push the other side into the drive carrier completely.
3. Secure the hard drive to the carrier with a screw, included with the hard drive.
4. For 2.5" hard drives, there aren't stubs that will reach to hold the right side of the drive.
Instead, install the drive directly into the bottom of the tray and secure with four screws
underneath.
5. Use the open handle of the drive carrier to insert the drive carrier into the open drive
bay. Secure the drive carrier into the drive bay by closing the drive carrier handle
