Installing a Hard Drive Into a Hard-Drive Carrier
NOTE:
If you are upgrading from a 2.5" hard drive to a 3.5" hard drive, you need to
remove the inserts inside the carrier before installing the 3.5" hard drive in the
carrier.
1 Insert the hard drive into the hard-drive carrier with the connector end of
the drive at the back. See Figure 3-7.
2 Align the screw holes on the hard drive with the back set of holes on the
hard-drive carrier.
When aligned correctly, the back of the hard drive will be flush with the
back of the hard-drive carrier.
3 Attach the four screws to secure the hard drive to the hard-drive carrier.
