ABOUT THIS MANUAL

If you use a 3.5 inch drive, please refer to the manual for installation of the 3.5 inch mounter. If you use a 2.5 inch drive, please refer to the manual for installation of the 2.5 inch mounter.

When you have finished installing your drive onto the mounter, please refer to how to affix the drive onto the main body of your Cube.

1. Affix thermal gel seats onto controller tips. You need to adjust the thermal gel seat so it touches the mounter. (You may need to pile up the seats.)

2. Put the mounter on top of drive. Make sure the screw holes on the mounter and drive are aligned.

In the photo, the part of the drive that connects to the IDE cable is visible.

3. Affix the mounter onto the drive using the 1 inch screws.

1. Put the hard disk upside down. Place the thermal gel seats and rubber washers onto the hard disk. (It will be easier if you place your hard disk on top of a 1-inch high box, such as a cigarette box)

2. Put the mounter on top of the drive. Make sure the screw holes on the mounter and drive are aligned. Affix the mounter to the drive, using M3 screws.

In the photo, the part of the drive that connects to the IDE cable is visible.

You will need to use the 2.5 > 3.5 inch connector shown in the photo. You can purchase the connector at your local computer store.

2. Remove screws (indicated by red circles) from both sides of the Cube.

3. Lift up the top panel slightly so you can disconnect the connector to the logic board. Detach the top panel.

4. Lift out the four pillars located at the corners of your Cube.

5. Remove the front panel.

6. Remove screws on each side that hold the DVD drive.

7. Slide the DVD drive up. Disconnect the IDE cable and power supply cable.

8. Next, you will be connecting the power supply cable.

9. From the top, lower the mounter that is attached to the HDD back into the Cube. Connect the power supply cable.

10. Position the IDE cable as shown in the photo and connect it to the HDD.

11. Align the holes and affix the mounter with screws. Tighten the four screws on both sides gradually until all screws are tightened uniformly.

12. Fold the IDE cable, but not too sharply, as it could cause a wire to break.

13. Replace the front cover. If you do not correctly position the cover in the  areas indicated by the red circles, you will be unable to pull out the Cube out of its case.

Now all you need to do is reverse Steps #1-4 to rebuild your Cube!
