available, touch a large grounded metal surface for several seconds to discharge any
built-up static electricity.

bottom of the drive line up with the mounting holes on the drive tray.
2. Insert the provided screws through the mounting holes in the drive tray and into
the holes in the drive.
3. Tighten the screws by turning them clockwise.
