✎If you are installing a drive in the external 3.5" drive bay for the first time, use a flatblade screwdriver to pry out the metal shield covering the bay.

✎There are a total of eight extra guide/retainer screws on the front of the chassis behind the bezel. Four have 6-32 standard threads and four have M3 metric threads. Standard 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.
