Front Bay Installation
Rear
Bays
In
the
rear
of
the
main
unit
to
the
left
of
the
power supply
is
the
hard
drive
storage
area,
which can accept only 3.5-inch devices
that
do
not
require
external
access. This
area
can
take
one half-height
drive
or
two low profile drives.
If
your
Amiga came
with
a
hard
disk, a low profile drive is already
there.
Two
standard
full-size 4-pin power connectors
are
provided for
rear-
mounted
devices.
Front
Bay
Installation
To
install
a drive
in
one of
the
front bays:
1.
Turn
off
and
disconnect
the
Amiga.
2.
Remove
the
Amiga's cover as described
in
Chapter
3.
3. Disconnect
the
keylock
and
the
LED assembly wiring from
the
motherboard.
4. Remove
the
front faceplate. The faceplate
has
several plastic
tabs
that
hold
it
to
the
metal chassis. Squeezing
the
tabs
and
pushing
them
through
the
chassis holes will release
the
faceplate. You
may
need a small
pair
of
pliers
to
do
this.
5.
Disconnect
the
power
and
ribbon cables from
the
existing
drive(s)
in
the
front
area
(see Figure 6-1). Note
the
orientation
of
the
connectors before you remove
them
so
that
you
can
replace
them
properly when you
are
done.
