Installing the Hard Drive
The motherboard should be installed before installing the hard drive.
1. Make sure there is no power to the system as described in Section 3.1.
2. Remove the four screws securing the bottom cover tray to the chassis and set them
aside for later use. Lift the cover out. On the inside of this bottom cover is where the
hard drive is mounted.
3. Place the hard drive on to the inside of the bottom cover and secure it to the tray with
the four screws provided with the hard drive, as shown.
4. Attach the cable SATA connector and to the motherboard connector. This cable carries
both the SATA signal and the SATA power.
5. Return the hard drive bottom cover assembly into the chassis, aligning the screw holes
of the bottom tray with the holes in the chassis. Secure the tray to the chassis support
bracket with the screws previously set aside.
6. Power up the system.
