Installing Disk Drives

The APC-5260 supports both IDE and SCSI storage devices. We introduce the IDE
disk drive installation procedure here. For installing a SCSI HDD, please refer to
Chapter 5 for detailed SCSI information and installation procedure.
The IDE disk drive housing supports one slim type optical disk drive, one 5.25" and
one 3.5" disk drive bay. The slim type optical disk drive and the 5.25" disk drive bay
are located above the SCSI disk drive housing. The 3.5" disk drive bay is in the front
middle section. Please follow these steps for installation.
1. For installing the 3.5" HDD or FDD, simply release the two screws on top of the
disk drive holder located in the middle of the front panel.
2. Insert the disk drive into the proper location in the drive housing and secure
them with the screws provided.
3. To install the 5.25" disk drive, you need to release the 3.5" disk drive holder first.
Then, loosen the four screws on the 5.25" disk drive housing.
4. Insert the disk drive in the proper location in the drive housing, and secure it with
the screws provided.
5. To install the slim type optical disk drive, first find the small converter in the
accessory box. Connect the converter to the rear of the optical disk drive and
fasten it with the two screws provided. Then simply fix the optical disk drive to
the drive housing with the four screws provided.
6. Connect the suitable cables from the CPU card to the 3.5" HDD, FDD or the
optical disk drive. Then plug the 4-pin power connector into each disk drive.
