Disk Drive Installation

Hardware Secrets Golden AwardOptical drives, floppy disk drives and the internal hard disk drive are installed to the case thru a screwless sliding mechanism. The case comes with three different kinds of rails for that: the metallic ones are for optical drives, the black ones are for hard disk drives and the blue ones are for floppy disk drives.

Even though several other manufacturers are also using sliding mechanisms for disk drive installation, the one used on KL03 doesn’t require screws: the rails are installed on the drives by pressure.

Below we will show how an optical drive is installed in this case. First pay attention on the metallic rails, as they have “R” and “L” (right and left) marked on them, and you should use an “R” rail on the unit right side and an “L” rail the unit left side (enlarge Figure 24 to see this).

If you want to install a hard disk drive on the internal 3 ½” bay or a floppy disk drive you should follow the same procedure, but using the appropriate rails.
