Hard Disk Mounting
Hard Disk Drive Mounting
Two hard disk drives may be mounted into the 3.5” device cage, a single
hard disk drive may be mounted on top of the power supply, and two more
may be mounted in the 5.25” device cage using hard disk drive carriages
(not provided) designed for use in 5.25” device bays. The exception is
Quantum’s Bigfoot IDE hard disk drive which fits in the 5.25” device bays.
CAUTION: Adequate cooling cannot be made for high-speed SCSI hard
disk drives mounted in the 5.25” device cage, therefore it is not recommended.
Top of the Power Supply
A small hard disk drive carrier plate on top of the power supply is used to
hold a 1” hard disk drive. The underside of the hard disk drive mounts to the
bottom of the carrier plate. There is nothing else to fasten since the side
panel will hold the carrier plate in.
