Caution

∙Do not cover the vent hole in the top surface of the hard drive or in the case. If you cover the hole, the hard drive could fail prematurely.

∙If you install a 9.5-mm hard drive in the case, make sure you install the spacer on top of the drive. If you install an 8.4-mm hard drive, make sure you stick the end spacer on the case and install the top spacer on top of the drive.

∙Pry out the connector corner of the case and insert the external connector and hard drive at the same time. The connector seats in the lower part of the opening in the case.

∙Secure the two tabs on the screw flap by inserting the corner tab last, while prying out the nearby corner of the case.

∙When you install the battery module, be sure the plastic tab on the hard drive case lays folds up against the front of the case.
