1.4 Installation of HDD
Step 1
There is one screw which connects to the
chassis. Pull out the chassis towards the I/O
side after unscrewing as shown in the picture
ACS-2695A
Step 2
There are 2 screws to deal with when
enclosing or removing the HDD bracket as
shown in the picture ACS-2695A
Loosen screw and draw the HDD bracket
out as shown in the picture ACS-2695A
Step 3
Tighten the 1 screw as shown in the picture.
That’s how it should look after it has been
installed.

1.5 Installation of PCI Add-on
Step 1
There is one screw which connects to the
chassis. Pull out the chassis towards the I/O
side after unscrewing as shown in the picture
ACS-2695A
Step 2
Now slide the add on into the PCI slot,
making sure the golden part faces the slot.
When the part that is interfaced together
come into the right contact, slightly push the
add on into the rail of the slot.
After sliding the add on into the PCI
expansion slot, get the one screw as circled
tightened to finish the connection.
** Half Expansion-card limit to be not more
than 175mm length
Step 3
Tighten the 1 screw as shown in the picture.
That’s how it should look after it has been
installed.
