Figure 7-10. Removing the Hard-Disk Drive
Bracket

5.

Slide the drive into the chosen bay of the bracket,
oriented so that the connectors on the back of the
drive will face the back of the chassis when the
bracket is reinstalled (see Figure 7-11).

6.

Align the four screw holes of the drive and
bracket. Insert and tighten the screws that came
with your upgrade kit.

If you are installing a drive in the 1.6-inch bay, use
the four screw holes in the side of the bracket (see
Figure 7-11). If you are installing a drive in the
1-inch bay, use the four screw holes in the bottom of
the bracket.

the Bracket

7.

Reinstall the hard-disk drive bracket in the chas-
sis (see Figure 7-12).

Insert the bracket’s hinge tabs into the chassis slots
so that the tabs hook over the slots. Then rotate the
bracket toward the drive cage, and fit the bracket’s
sliding tab on the drive-cage slide rail. Slide the
bracket into place. Reinstall the screw you removed
in step 4.
