Installing and Removing Drives
When installing drives, follow these guidelines:
●
The primary Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive must be connected to the dark blue primary SATA
connector on the system board labeled SATA0.
●
Connect secondary hard drives and optical drives to one of the light blue SATA connectors on
the system board (labeled SATA1 and SATA2).
●
Connect a media card reader USB 2.0 cable to the USB connector on the system board labeled
MEDIA.
●
The power cable for the drives has two branches coming off the system board connector. The
first branch is a dual-headed cable with the first connector (four-wire) routed to the 3.5-inch
optional drive bay and the second connector (two-wire) routed to the slim optical drive bay. The
second branch is a dual-headed cable with the first connector routed to the 3.5-inch hard drive
bay and the second connector routed to the 2.5-inch hard drive bay.
