2.3INTERNAL 2.5” DEVICE INSTALLATION
Note: It is important that you install the insulating sheets in step 3 to ensure that the hard drive(s) and bracket do not come into contact.
2.5” hard drives can be mounted to a bracket underneath the
motherboard. To access this bracket, you will need to remove the right side panel. If you have just installed the motherboard, it can be helpful to replace the left side panel before continuing.
1.Lay the case down on its left side, and remove the right panel as described in section 2.1.
2.Remove the four screws securing the bracket to the case (see picture).
3.Attach the red insulating strips by removing the adhesive covering and attaching them as shown in the picture.
4.Align your drive(s) such that all four screw holes in the drive will be utilized.
5.Secure your hard drive(s) to the bracket using the supplied black screws. Fasten screws to the bottom of the hard drive. The top of the hard drive will face the motherboard and the back of the hard drive will face the front of the case (see picture).
6.Place the insulating sheet on the exposed part of the motherboard in the case.
7.Reattach the HDD tray to the case, and replace the four screws.
8.Connect the data and power connectors from the motherboard and power supply to the device by pulling the connections through the opening left between the motherboard and the case (see picture).
