3. Insert a 3.5” SATA hard drive into an available drive

bay. Make sure to align the drive connector to the SATA

connector on the bottom edge inside the drive bay of the

a drive is inserted properly, you will feel it “seat” into the

connector. Some hard drives that are thin or oddly shaped

may need to be guided carefully into position.

If a drive

is not properly seated, the light will not illuminate after

powering on the device.
