Attaching Mounting Frames to the Drive

If you are installing a 3.5-inch wide drive, you need to attach mounting frames to it so that the drive fits in a 5.25-inch wide bay. These frames usually come with your drive.

Follow these steps to attach mounting frames to a drive:

1.Locate the two mounting frames and four screws that came with the drive.

2.As shown below, place a mounting frame on one side of the drive and align it so that the oval holes in the frame are

positioned over the holes in the drive. Then secure the mounting frame to the drive with the two screws.

3.Repeat step 2 to attach a mounting frame to the other side of the drive.
