Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
To add a new IDE drive, install a drive into the tray with the printed circuit
board side facing down and so that the mounting holes align with those in
the tray. Secure the drive to the tray inside the chassis with the four
screws. Replace the top cover when finished.
2.
Installing/removing an IDE drive
The IDE drive bay is located in the front of the chassis, making it easily
accessible for installation and removal. The IDE drive is not hot-
swappable, meaning system power must be turned off before installing
and/or removing one. To install or remove a drive, first power down the
system and then remove the top cover of the chassis.
Unscrew the
retention screw at the top center of the drive, then push the drive carrier
out from the back until you can grasp and pull it out through the front of
the chassis. Remove the drive from the drive carrier. Reverse this
procedure when installing a drive carrier, making sure you screw in the
retention screw.
Replace the top cover when finished.
