Note that a PCIe hard drive controller card must be installed in one of
the two PCIe slots for the hard drive(s) to interface with the host system.
However that controller card should be no longer than PCIe half-length
in order to accommodate a second (optional) hard drive in the area
designated as zone 2 below:
Zone 1:
2.5”/3.5” drive
(Unrestricted)
Zone 2:
2.5”/3.5” drive
(PCIe card
Length limit)
Use these holes
to mount a 3.5”
drive instead of
the 2.5” shown
Both zones feature six holes in the base of the chassis so that both 2.5”
and 3.5” drives with their respective brackets can be installed in the
system.
Finally secure each of the installed hard drive(s)’ brackets from the
bottom of the chassis with two screws per bracket. Then be sure to
connect the power and data cables to the newly installed hard drive(s).
