If you purchased our SuperDrive or Combo Drive for your Cube, you can start from # 9. If you purchased the Drive Mount kit, please start from here.
You will need a T-10 Torx driver and a phillips screwdriver to disassemble your Cube..

1. Position your drive on the Drive Mount bracket from this side, as shown in the photo.

2. Then push it into place on the other side of the Drive Mount. Do not apply too much force.

3. Slide the drive until it comes to the blue circle.

6. Tighten two plastic screws on the other side. Four plastic screws come with this kit; one screw is an extra.

Plastic screws are used in order to reduce noise and vibration.

7. Place the IDE connector on the end as shown, using two metal screws.

8. Connect the cable that is included in this kit.

9. Remove the original optical drive.

If you purchased our SuperDrive or Combo Drive, you need to change the HDD jumper setting from master to slave, because these drives are Master-fixed. You can usually find the setting instructions on the HDD label. Or you can find it on the HDD manufacturer's WEB site.

Note:

1. You will need to set up the Master/Slave settings correctly. Most recent slim optical drives are Master-fixed or CS-fixed, but some are Slave-fixed.
If you use Our SuperDrive or Combo Drive , you need to set the HDD jumper to Slave. Otherwise, your Cube will not boot up.

2. If the drive does not fully eject, you need to adjust the position of the drive mount in the Cube .

3. Most optical drives can be used with OS X, using PathchBurn. However, we are not responsible for drive compatibility.
If you don't know which drive you should use, we recommented our internal drives, which combine compatible dirves with this kit. They can be use with both OS 9 and OS X.
