InstallingtheDrives
The Antec ISK300-65 has one external 5.25” drive bay for a slimline optical
drive and two internal 2.5” drive bays for hard drives. Our motherboard pro-
vides only two SATA ports, which we'll use to connect one optical drive and
one hard drive.
The first step is to install the hard drive in the HDD tray. To do so, recover the
drive tray assembly you set aside earlier. Remove the thumbscrew that secures
the HDD tray to the drive tray assembly, as shown in Figure 7-23.
Slide the HDD tray back slightly to free the locking hinges, and lift the HDD
tray away from the drive tray assembly, as shown in Figure 7-24.

Lift the HDD tray free of the drive tray assembly
Slide the hard drive into the HDD tray, as shown in Figure 7-25, with one side
of the drive under the retaining lip of the HDD tray. The rear (connector side) of
the hard drive should be toward the rear of the tray, and overhanging slightly.
