INSTALLATION AND TESTING
TweakNews Tip: Working in aluminum cases requires extra care, as the material is less robust than steel and can be bent easily. Threaded holes in aluminum can be cross-threaded or stripped if the user is not careful.
The first order of business is to take out the drive cages. Removing the thumbscrew (there’s a little spring here, don’t lose it) at the bottom of the HDD cage and….
….depressing the tab at the top frees up the cage. Pull it straight out the side of the chassis.
The floppy cage has a lever-activated latching mechanism. Move the lever towards the rear and simply slide the cage out of the chassis.
Special thumbscrews are used to anchor the hard drives in the rubber mounts provided in the cage. There are plenty of these included in the hardware bag.
This is one of the nicer features of the Eclipse. Installation couldn’t be easier and it works beautifully.
The floppy drive is installed in the cage with screws and slid back into the frame until the latch catches the locking pin. Quick and easy!
