2.7.2 Installing an internal IDE/SATA HDD

If you purchased an internal IDE/SATA model (AI4), your package comes
with specially designed hard disk drive rails. Depending on which bay you
wish to install your hard disk drive, the orientation of the drive rails vary so
that the screw holes match those on the drive.

For identification purposes, the drive rails are referred to as “Rail 1” and
“Rail 2” as shown below.

Installing an IDE hard disk drive to the first hard disk drive cage

To install an IDE hard disk drive to the first hard disk drive cage:

1. Remove the front panel assembly. Refer to section 2.5.1 for

instructions.

2. Use a Phillips (cross) screwdriver to attach Rail 1 to the side of the

drive as shown. The rail end should be on the side of the drive
connectors.

Take note of the correct orientation of the drive rails. There is only one
correct way to attach the rails when installing drives on the hard disk
drive cage.
