2. Slide the drive into the drive bay, making sure to align the guide screws with the guide slots, until
the drive snaps into place. The upper bay is for the primary hard drive. The bottom bay is for an
optional secondary hard drive.
The hard drive uses 6-32 isolation mounting guide screws. Four extra guide screws are
