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.

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.
