TRAY MOUNTS AND SUSPENSION MOUNTING SYSTEM
)
The following text outlines the preparatory stages for installing 3.5” / 2.5” drives using drives trays
and the suspension mounting system.
1. If you have reattached it, remove the left side panel. Loosen the side panel screws and swing the
panel outward, pulling it back towards you; this will completely remove it.
2. Remove the front bezel by locating the bezel tabs and pulling them to release the bezel .The
bezel will swing outward like a door. Lift the bezel upwards to remove it from its hinges.
3. Open the drive cage by loosening the top thumbscrew.
For Tray Mount Installation:
The SOLO II comes preinstalled with silicone grommets positioned for 3.5” drive installation. You
may remove the grommets and position them as so to accommodate a 2.5” drive.
4. Position your drive on top of the grommets with the SATA connectors facing away from the tray
rails. Turn the tray + drive upside-down, and secure the drive using the appropriate tray-mount
screws. Do not over-tighten the screws, as this will cause the grommets to lose their sound-
dampening function.
