Sorry, I meant cardboard box in the ssd hard drive bay lol

it might be tied in at the back or something crazy
that usually has screws and stuff in

keep building outside the case my advice

Stevo_1990 · 26 Sep 2012 at 20:34

It did have screws and such, but i cant get the cardboard box out of the drive, It dosen't appear to be tied :S

Stevo_1990 · 26 Sep 2012 at 20:45

And the DVD drive dosent seem to fit in the drive bay :/

What case?

Does it have quick release mechanism that needs to loosened before the drive slides backwards into the slot?

This one, I have no idea what im doing

stulid · 26 Sep 2012 at 20:51

Did the case come with instructions?

foster grant · 26 Sep 2012 at 20:52

also if the pc case front cover is off ?? the DVD Drive will look as though its sticking out a bit ...all is good

Stevo_1990 · 26 Sep 2012 at 20:53

Nah just a leaflet detailing all the parts, The optical drive bays are "tool-free"

Stevo_1990 · 26 Sep 2012 at 20:54

The front cover is not off and it still sticks out.

foster grant · 26 Sep 2012 at 20:56

ok take it out...and try again....

you are putting it in from inside the case yes ?

stulid · 26 Sep 2012 at 21:00

It has to be the tool-less thingy, does it sort of lever away at the front part of it?

Stinger53 · 26 Sep 2012 at 21:03

make sure the quick release is open and slide it in from the front

Stevo_1990 · 26 Sep 2012 at 21:03

Ya, I jammed it in, Didnt make a very good noise but it seems to be in, The clasp wont lock tho

foster grant · 26 Sep 2012 at 21:04

give it a wriggle ...be ok

Stevo_1990 · 26 Sep 2012 at 21:06

seems to be secure even tho the little latch wont lock, Do i need to screw it in?

foster grant · 26 Sep 2012 at 21:07

No....., you see the little " pins" on the locking arm ? ..they go into the screw holes on the side of the DVD drive.

what i did with my bay was un do it then slide the bayin slightly then clip the tooless mech back downand keep sliding the drive back till it clicks.

i also pooed my pants when putting the cpu lever down, dont worry if its in right its fine

Stevo_1990 · 26 Sep 2012 at 21:13

Mei · 26 Sep 2012 at 21:15
