✎If you are installing a 5.25" drive for the first time into bay 2 you must first remove the metal shield that covers the bay by pressing in on the silver-colored tab on the left side of the chassis then pulling the shield out from the front of the chassis. It is not necessary to remove the drive from bay 1 when performing this operation.

✎There are a total of eight extra guide/retainer screws on the front of the chassis behind the bezel. Four have Unified Standard (U.S.) #6-32 standard threads and four have M3 metric threads. U.S. screws are used for hard drives and have a silver finish. Metric screws are used for all other drives and have a black finish. Be sure to install the appropriate guide screws into the drive.
