SYSTEM SETUP
As the ThunderBay 4 has been pre-configured, the four drives have been installed into
their drive trays and have been packed separately from the ThunderBay 4 enclosure. Follow
the instructions in Section 2.1 to install your own drives into the ThunderBay 4 or when
replacing a failed drive. The drive trays are labeled A, B, C, and D, but the arrangement of the
drive trays when they are installed in the ThunderBay 4 does not matter.
2.1 HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION
Follow these steps to install hard drives into your ThunderBay 4, or to replace existing drives.
Repeat steps 1 through 8 as necessary for the number of drives you are installing.
1. Insert one of the included keys into the lock on the upper left of the faceplate.
2. Turn the key clockwise, then pull the key towards you. The faceplate will swing open, as
shown.
3. Once the faceplate has swung open as far as it will go, pull up to remove it.
4. On the drive tray you wish to remove, turn the thumbscrew counter-clockwise until you
no longer feel resistance. Then hold onto the thumscrew and pull the drive tray out.
5. Set the drive tray as shown on your work surface. If you are replacing an existing hard
drive, unscrew it from the drive tray at this time. Place the new hard drive inside the drive
tray as shown. The label should face up and the SATA connectors should be on the far
rear corner of the drive.
6. Fasten the drive into the drive tray using six of the included screws.
7. Slide the drive tray back into the rails in the ThunderBay 4 and push until it is seated
fully, then push in on the thumbscrew and turn it clockwise until it stops moving. If you
encounter resistance, do not force the drive tray. Remove it, check to make sure that there
are no obstructions and that the drive tray is lined up correctly, then slide it in again.
