Installing SATA Hard Disks

The MPC-2240 Series has two trays for SATA hard disks. To install the 2.5-inch SATA hard disks, follow these

instructions. For the best reliability, we suggest you use solid state drives.

1. First, locate the SATA trays on the bottom surface of the

computer. For ease of installation, we strongly suggest you

lay the MPC-2240 on a non-abrasive surface with its display

panel face down.

2. Insert the drive door key and turn it left to unlock the cover

of the storage trays.

3. Open the tray cover by lifting the lever on the tray door.

4. Install the SATA drive into the tray. Make sure you insert it

in the correct direction. Close the tray by pushing the door

lever inwards. If you cannot smoothly secure the hard drive

in the slot, it is most likely that you have inserted the drive

in the wrong direction.

5. Make sure you have securely fastened the door lever. Use

the same method to install another SATA hard disk into the

other tray. If you need to install only one hard drive, we

strongly suggest you install it in the tray nearest the

display panel. If you need to install two hard drives, install

the first disk in the tray nearest the display panel first, and

then install the second disk in the other tray. When finished,

use the protection key to lock the storage trays in place.

6. To remove a drive, simply pull up the door lever and fold

the tray door back. The drive should automatically eject

part way.
