Hard Disk Drive Mounting
Two hard disk drives may be mounted into the 3.5” device cage, a single hard disk drive may be mounted on top of the power supply, and two more may be mounted in the 5.25” device cage using hard disk drive carriages (not provided) designed for use in 5.25” device bays. The exception is Quantum’s Bigfoot IDE hard disk drive which fits in the 5.25” device bays.

Top of the Power Supply
A small hard disk drive carrier plate on top of the power supply is used to hold a 1” hard disk drive. The underside of the hard disk drive mounts to the bottom of the carrier plate. There is nothing else to fasten since the side panel will hold the carrier plate in.
