Assembly of 2.5" SSD Drive into a 3.5" Drive Carrier

The 3.5" drive blank can also be used to mount a 2.5" SSD.
Note: Due to degraded performance and reliability concerns, the use of the 3.5" drive blank as a 2.5" drive
bracket is intended to support SSD type storage devices only. Installing a 2.5" hard disk drive into the 3.5"
drive blank is not supported.
1. Remove the drive blank following step 1 of
Figure 55. 3.5" Drive Carrier to 2.5" SSD Bracket – Tab Removal and Mount SSD to Bracket
2. Break off the small side tab from the side of the drive blank, making the drive blank into a 2.5" drive
bracket (see Letter A).
Note: Once the side tab is removed, it cannot be re-attached to the drive blank.
3. Mount and secure a 2.5" SSD to the drive bracket using two screws at the locations shown in the figure
(see Letter B). Tighten to 8 in-lb.
