Installing Or Removing 3.5” Drives
Adding or removing a 3.5” drive is straight forward. Just remove the mounting
screws indicated in Figure 3.5. Note that the 3.5” drive bays provides vibration
damping rubber grommets to protect your hard drive. BSI strongly recom-
mends installing your hard drives in these spaces.
Installing Or Removing 5.25” Drives
Adding or removing 5.25” drives requires that you first remove all 3.5” drives
already installed in the system. This gives you access to the bottom side
panel of the 5.25” drive bay bracket that would otherwise be blocked by the
3.5” drives. Follow these steps to add or remove a 5.25” drive:
1. Assuming that your system already has a 3.5” floppy drive and a 3.5”
hard drive installed, first remove all 3.5“ drive mounting screws.
2. Slide the 3.5” drives out of the drive bay. Avoid touching the circuit
boards.
3. Now that you have access to all mounting screw holes on both top and
bottom side panels of the 5.25” drive bay, you can proceed to install or
remove your 5.25” drive.
4. Open drive bay front openings are covered. Remove the covers so you
can slide the drives into the drive housing.
