2.1 Hard Drive Installation
If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro Quad with drives, they will be installed prior
to shipment. If you purchased drives separately, follow the steps below to install 3.5
inch hard drives. Repeat steps 1 through 8 as necessary for each drive you install.
Note: it is possible to install 2.5 inch SATA drives using the ne-threaded screws
that are included (16 in total), and the four screw holes on the bottom of each drive
tray (highlighted in step 5 below).
1. Insert a key into the lock located at the top-left corner of the faceplate.
2. Turn the key clockwise, then pull it towards you. The faceplate will swing open.
3. Once the faceplate swings open fully, pull up to remove it. Set it aside.
4. To remove a tray, turn its thumbscrew counter-clockwise until you feel no
resistance. Then, hold the thumbscrew and pull the tray out of the enclosure.
5. Set the drive tray on a work surface. If replacing a drive, unscrew it from the
drive tray. Note: the highlighted screw holes are for 2.5 inch drives. The holes for
3.5 inch drives are highlighted in green (Step 7).
6. Place the drive inside the tray as shown. The label should face up and the SATA
connectors should be oriented at the far, rear corner of the drive.
7. Fasten the drive to the tray using six of the included screws (three per side).
8. Slide the drive tray back onto the rails in the enclosure and push until it is seated
fully. Then, push the thumbscrew in and turn it clockwise until it stops turning.
NOTE: Note: If you encounter resistance when sliding the drive tray back into the
enclosure, do not force the tray. Carefully remove it, check to make sure there are no
obstructions and that the drive tray is aligned, then slide the tray onto the rails again.
