Installing the Mounting Brackets
The included mounting brackets can be
used to mount your drive in a standard
5.25-inch device bay. It is not necessary
to use the brackets if you are installing
your drive in a 3.5-inch device bay. If you
have questions about the kind of device
bays your computer has, please refer to
your computer user manual.
To install your drive in a 5.25-inch device
bay using the brackets, please perform
the following steps:
1. Turn off your computer. Be sure to
leave the power cord plugged into
your computer and an electrical outlet
to ensure proper grounding. Remove
the cover from your computer as indi-
cated in your computer user manual.
2. Align the screw holes on one of the
included U-shaped mounting brackets
with the screw holes on either side of
the drive (see figure below). The short
side of the bracket should face inward
against the drive.
3. Using two of the included screws,
attach the bracket to the drive.
Warning: Using any screws except those
supplied may cause damage to your drive
or system.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to attach the
second mounting bracket to the other
side of the drive.
5. Insert the bracketed drive into the
selected 5.25-inch device bay in your
system and use the four remaining
screws to attach the drive to the sides
of the bay. Be careful not to touch the
green circuit board on the bottom of
the drive.
Note: Make sure the ATA connector end
of the drive is facing the interior of your
computer case so you can connect the
interface and power cables.

system is powered down AND connected
to an electrical outlet.
DON’T connect/disconnect any cables to
the drive or system when the power is ON.

board on the bottom of the hard drive.
