UTC-318 is a touch-based computer housed in an plastic enclosure. To install HDD,
DRAM, and mini SATA cards, or to conduct hardware maintenance or upgrades, the
system's rear cover must be removed.
Warning! Do not remove the rear cover until you have verified that no power is
flowing within the UTC-318. The power must be switched off and the
power cord unplugged when servicing the UTC-318.

3.2 2.5" Hard Disk Drive Installation

The UTC-318's internal controller can support one SATA hard disk drive. The SATA
controller accelerates data transfers and allows the SATA hard drive to exceed 150
MB. Instructions for installation are as follows:
1. Detach and remove the rear cover.
2. Place the HDD in the metal bracket, and tighten the screws (see Figure 3.1).
3. The HDD cable (SATA 7P+1*5P-2.5/SATA(15+7)P) should be located next to
the metal brace. Connect the HDD cable to the motherboard (SATA1/SATA
POWER). Then plug the other end of the cable into the SATA hard drive.
4. Replace the rear cover and tighten the screws.
