Figure 8-6. Loosen the two thumbscrews that secure the hard drive cage cover
Swing the drive cage cover open, as shown in Figure 8-7. Lift it straight up to
remove it, as shown in Figure 8-8, and set it aside.
The drive cage contains four hard drive mounting trays, each of which is re-
tained by a pair of spring-metal clips. Remove as many drive trays as you have
hard drives to install by squeezing both clips and pulling the tray straight out
of the chassis, as shown in Figure 8-9. Set the drive tray(s) aside for now.
Figure 8-5. Swing the front bezel out to
about 45°, lift it clear, and set it aside
For the best cooling, provide as much space as possible between the hard
drives. If you're installing two hard drives, remove the top and bottom drive
trays. If you're installing three hard drives, as we did, leave one of the middle
two drive trays unused.
The plastic bag that contains screws and other components is located in one
of the external drive bays at the top of the chassis. Use your dykes (diagonal
cutters), as shown in Figure 8-10, to cut the plastic cable tie that secures the
parts bag to the chassis. If you don't have dykes, carefully use a sharp knife or
similar tool. Set the parts bag aside.
