Installing Hard Disk Drives

Even though the HDD cage and the 5 ¼” to 3 ½” adapter are fastened to the case using a screwless mechanism you will need to use screws to install the hard disk drives to the cage or adapter. Let’s see how to install a hard disk drive to a cage.

First you need to place the hard disk drive inside the cage (Figure 15). Then you need to match the holes present on the hard disk drive with the holes present on the cage (Figure 16). Then go ahead and screw the hard disk drive to the cage, using thick thread screws (preferably using four screws).

You can also install one hard disk drive to the 5 ¼” to 3 ½” adapter that comes with the product. If you install a hard disk drive using this adapter you can’t have a floppy disk drive, though. After you put the hard disk drive in the adapter, you need to move it until the holes on the bottom of the hard disk drive match the holes present on the bottom of the adapter. Then screw the hard disk drive to the adapter using four thick thread screws.
