Installing Your Disk Drives

The instructions below apply to all types of drive carriers intended for use with the Vess A2200 or Vess
A2200s.
1. Remove a disk drive carrier.
2. Carefully lay the disk drive into the drive carrier at the front, so that the screw holes on the sides
line up.
3. Insert the screws through the holes in the drive carrier and into the sides of the disk drive.
Install only the counter-sink screws supplied with the drive.

Install four screws per drive.

Snug each screw. Be careful not to over-tighten.
4. Reinstall the drive carrier into the enclosure.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all of your disk drives are installed.
