Removing the Cage Door
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

In front of the hard disk drive cage there is a metallic door, where the dust filter is attached to and also where you can install up to two 92 mm fans (not included with the case) to cool down the hard disk drives. You must open this door in order to have access to the hard disk drive bays and to install them.

This door is opened by unscrewing two thumbscrews and just like the thumbscrews used to fasten the side panel they keep stuck to the door, so it is impossible for you to lose them.

Also, just like the frontal panel this door uses two metallic hinges opened on top, so you can swing the door to your left-hand side or completely remove it in order to make it easier to install the hard disk drives.
