Drive Installation and Enclosure Setup

4

1. Remove the Fusion D500P and its drive trays from their

packaging, and place them near the computer to which the
enclosure will be connected.

2. Take one of the drive trays and push its lever release button in

until the lever pops out

(Figure 3).

3. Remove a SATA drive from its packaging and set it in on a flat,

level surface with the label side down. Open the supplied tube
of threadlocker and apply a single drop inside each of the four
indicated screw holes on the bottom of the drive

(Figure 4).

4. Turn the drive tray upside down and lay it on top of the drive,

with the back of the tray facing toward the drive’s connectors
(Figure 5).

5. Using four of the supplied screws, secure the drive tray to the

drive; tighten each screw to secure the tray snugly to the drive;
do not overtighten the screws (Figure 6).

WARNING:

When handling computer products, take care to

prevent components from being damaged by static electricity;

avoid working in carpeted areas. Handle hard drives only by their
edges and avoid touching connector traces and component pins.

WARNING:

When securing the trays to the hard drives, you

must verify the screw heads are flush with the tray. Otherwise,

a screw may catch on the tray below and prevent you from removing
the tray from the enclosure.
