Installing a Drive in the Desktop Configuration

8.Gently slide the drive into the uppermost available bay until it snaps into place. When the drive is properly inserted, the drivelock will secure it. Repeat this step for each drive.

ÄCAUTION: The bottom 5.25-inch drive bay has a shorter depth than the upper two bays. The bottom bay supports a drive that is no more than 17 cm (6.7 inches) in depth, including the cables that attach to the back of the drive. Do not try to force a larger drive, such as an optical drive, into the bottom bay. This could cause damage to the drive and the system board.

The use of unnecessary force when installing any drive into the drive bay may result in damage to the drive.

9.Reconnect all power and data cables to the drives in the 5.25-inch drive bays.

10.Remove the bezel subpanel as described in the “Removing Bezel Blanks” section.

ÄCAUTION: Hold the subpanel straight when you pull it away from the front bezel. Pulling the subpanel away at an angle could damage the pins that align it within the front bezel.
