The main drive bracket has three bays that support the combinations
as follows:
o 3 x 5.25” Optical drives
o 2 x 5.25” Optical drives + 1 x 3.5” HDD
o 2 x 5.25” Optical drives + 1 x 3.5” FDD
A 3.5” drive tray (HDD or FDD) is installed into the top drive bay. The
two lower drive bays are covered with two metal plates. The 3.5”
drives (HDD or FDD) are always installed in the drive bracket in the
top drive bay. The 5.25” optical drives can be installed in all three
drive bays.
When you are installing drives into the main drive bracket, always
install the 5.25” optical drives into the two lower drive bays first.
If you want to install a 5.25” optical drive into the main drive bracket,
follow the steps below:
Step 1: If you are installing the 5.25” optical drive into the lower
two drive trays, remove the front metal covers from the
drive bays by removing the four retention screws that
secure the front metal plates to the main drive bracket.
Step 2: If you are installing the 5.25” optical drive into the top
drive bay, remove the 3.5” drive bracket from the main
drive bracket. To do this, remove the four retention
screws that secure the 3.5” drive tray to the main
bracket and then slide the 3.5” drive tray out of the
main drive bracket.

Step 3: Slide the 5.25” optical drive into the selected drive bay.
Make sure the drive is upright and the 4-pin power
connector and the IDE/SATA drive interface connector are
at the rear of the drive bay.
Step 4: Secure the 5.25” optical drive to the chassis by inserting
four retention screws through the sides of the main drive
connector and into the 5.25” drive. The retention screws
are inserted into the same locations as the retention
screws for the front metal flaps and the 3.5” drive tray.
If you want to install a 3.5” HDD drive into the main drive bracket,
follow the steps below:
Step 1: Remove the 3.5” drive tray from the top drive bay in the
main drive bracket. To do this, remove the four
retention screws that secure the 3.5” drive bracket to
the main drive bracket and then slide the 3.5” drive tray
out of the main drive bracket.
Step 2: Place a 3.5” HDD into the drive bracket. Make sure the
PCB on the 3.5” HDD is placed directly on the bottom
surface of the drive bracket, and the 4-pin power
connector and the IDE/SATA drive interface connector
are facing the rear.
Step 3: Secure the HDD to the drive bracket by inserting four
retention screws (two on each side) through the sides
of the drive bracket and into the HDD.
