TOOL-LESS DRIVE-BAY INSTALLATION

The tool-less drive-bays are designed to be secure and have as few parts as possible. However, accomplishing this requires that the user have a strong grasp! To remove the drive bays, pinch the front handle firmly until you are able to compress the blue plastic levers inside.

Next pull back slowly until you feel the blue plastic levers clear the edge of the case. Now slide the drive bay all the way out of the endclosure.

The image to the left shows you the potential drive placement.

To remove and replace the internal HDD, gently pry the blue retainer pins from both sides of the HDD. Set the tray down and continue with your swap.

The CADA-U3E4is designed to be hot-swappable. But if you have already setup an active 4-disk array, be careful not to insert any new drives. The automatic rebuild function will incorporate any new drives into the existing array. That means any existing data on the new drive will be wiped clean to accommodate the active array!
