Hard disk drives

The system supports two hot-swap Serial ATA hard disk drives. The hard disk drive

installed on the left tray connects to the motherboard SATA1 (Port0) port, while the

right tray hard disk drive connects to the motherboard SATA3 (Port2) port via the

SATA backplane.
To install a hot-swap SATA HDD:

1. Release a drive tray by pushing the

spring lock to the right, then pulling

the tray lever outward. The drive

tray ejects slightly after you pull out

the lever.

2. Firmly hold the tray lever and pull

the drive tray out of the bay.

3. Take note of the drive tray holes.

Each side has three holes to fit

different types of hard disk drives.

Use two screws on each side to

secure the hard disk drive.

4. Place a SATA hard disk drive on the

tray, then secure it with four screws.
