Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive.
Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products that have magnetic fields

drive into its proper position in the bay.
If this is a new installation, guide screws are provided on the front of the chassis under
the front bezel.
If this is a replacement drive, use the screws taken from the old drive.
There are a total of eight extra guide screws on the front of the chassis. Four have U.S. threads
and four have metric threads. Metric screws have a black finish. U.S. threaded screws have a
silver finishnd are only used for hard drives. Make sure to install the appropriate guide screws
into the drive.
2. Align the guide screws with the guide slots, then slide the drive into the drive bay, making
