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, the physical size of the drive does not permit using the stubs to
hold the right side of the drive. Instead, install the drive directly into 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
