2.7.2 Installing an IDE HDD

If your system is an IDE model, your package comes with specially

designed hard disk drive rails. Depending on which bay you wish to install

your hard disk drive, the orientation of the drive rails vary so that the screw

holes match those on the drive.

For identification purposes, the drive rails will be referred to as "Rail 1"

and "Rail 2" as shown below.

Take note of the correct orientation of the drive rails. There is only one

correct way to attach the rails when installing drives on the first and

second drive cages.

Installing into a bay on the first drive cage

To install a drive from the front panel opening:

1. Remove the front panel assembly. Refer to section 2.5.1 for

instructions.

2. Use a Phillips (cross) screwdriver to attach Rail 1 to the side of the

drive as shown. The rail end should be on the side of the drive

connectors.
