Installing a 2.5" SATA Drive
The SATA drive bay can be easily accessed witout opening the system. However, the system
does not support hot-swapping hard drives; turn off the system first before proceeding with the
following procedure for installing a SATA drive. Locate the drive bay on the front panel and open it
by releasing the handle. Slide the HDD into the drive bay. Note that the HDD should be positioned
vertically with the SATA data connector on top of the power connector to correctly engage with the
system's SATA connectors. Then close the drive bay and lock the handle.
Notes:
1.
The slot is desgined to exactly fit a 2.5" SATA drive with 7mm thickness; it cannot fit
SATA drives with other sizes.
2.
Do not force to close the drive bay if the HDD is not correctly inserted.
