Installing a Hard Drive In a Drive Carrier

1 Insert the hard drive into the hard-drive carrier with the drive’s

controller board’s connector end of the drive at the back of the carrier.
See Figure 1-5.

2 From the back of the carrier, slide the drive into the carrier until it

contacts the stop tab on the front of the carrier.

3 Align the screw holes on the hard drive with the holes on the hard-drive

carrier. For SATA drives, align the drive mounting holes with the carrier
mounting holes marked SATA. See Figure 1-5.

4 Attach the four screws to secure the hard drive to the hard-drive carrier.

CAUTION:

To avoid damaging the drive or the carrier, do not overtighten

the screws.
