2.4.3 Installing a hot-swap SATA HDD
(AA2 model)
System models with hot-swap drive trays
(AA2 model) include a SATA backplane that
connects to the internal SATA connectors.
This configuration allows you to easily install
or replace SATA HDDs.
3. Take note of the drive tray holes.
Each side has three holes to fit
different types of hard disk. Use
two screws on each side to
secure a hard disk.
To install a hot-swap SATA HDD:
1. Release a drive tray by pushing
the spring lock to the right, then
pulling the tray lever outward. The
drive tray ejects slightly after you
pull out the lever.
2. Firmly hold the tray lever and pull
the drive tray out of the bay.

screws.
