Installation Tools
Screw driver / Screws / Tight cables / Installation guides
Installation Tips:
1. Some optical drives may need to take off the DVD tray cover in order to eject the tray
smoothly without blocking by the DVD flip down door.
2. Install the optical drive to the “A” position slot.
3. Use the special made hard drive noise reduction screws to install hard drive.
4. Do not perform cable management until your system is fully configured. This will make the
cable management a better smooth procedure.
5. Do not install optional upgrade video card / TV tuner card / sound card at once. Use
everything on board (video & sound) to configure system and install operation system. After
then, install the upgrades one by one and restart the system on every step to ensure
component compatibility and save times of troubleshooting when issue arises.
Step 1: Remove top cover and remove the optical drive bracket
1. Take off the 2 finger screws and move the top cover backward to take off. Put it aside on a
safety place.
2. Take off the two screws that hold the optical/hard drive bracket. Push a little backward then
