Inside Z-Machine (Cont’d)

As we mentioned before, this case has six internal 3 ½” bays. Four of them are on a cage that is rotated 90º, making it easier to install hard disk drives on this case. Also, no screw is required, as this case uses the same lock system used on Fatal1ty, shown on Figure 8. On Fatal1ty case, however, there were only three internal 3 ½” bays available.

The other two 3 ½” bays are located on the bottom part of the case, see Figure 9.

Installing a hard disk drive on these bays is very easy and you won’t need any tool. First you need to remove the four thumbscrews located on the bay and then screw them on the hard disk drive.

Then release the front two locks, slide the hard disk drive into the bay and then flip the locks back in place and that’s it.
