NEC VT 300 Series manual Replacing the Front Panel, Installing a 3 1/2-Inch Hard Drive

Replacing the Front Panel

Replace the front panel as follows.

Note: Before replacing the front panel, if you removed a 5 1/4-inch device from your system and didn’t replace it, you need to cover the opening in the front panel with the previously removed plastic panel.

1.Replace the blank plastic panel in the front panel if necessary. Press the blank panel into the inside of the front panel (over the open slot). Press until the four tabs lock the blank panel in place.

2.Align the front panel plugs with the mounting holes in the front of the chassis.

3.Evenly press the front panel into position until the plugs lock the panel in place.

4.Replace the left side cover (see “Replacing the Left Side Cover” earlier in this chapter).

Installing a 3 1/2-Inch Hard Drive

You can upgrade your system by adding a second drive or replacing an existing hard drive. Each hard drive installs on internal drive brackets located at the front inside of the chassis.

Note: You can also install a 3 1/2-inch hard drive in a 5 1/4-inch accessible device bay. Place the device in a 5 1/4-inch frame adapter and then follow the instructions in “Installing a 5 1/4-Inch Device.”
