The Cage includes three drive bays: one external 5.25", one external 3.5", and one internal 3.5". 1. Before installing the external drives, remove the external drive bay covers. a. To remove the external 5.25" drive bay cover, face the front of the case and use your left hand thumb to press firmly on the LEFT or outside edge of the left bay cover to release it. (See picture 3) b. To remove the external 3.5" drive bay cover, face the front of the case and use your right hand thumb to press firmly on the RIGHT or outside edge of the right bay cover to release it. (See picture 4) 2. Lift up and slide the drive cage from the case. 3. Place the cage upside down on a flat surface. Note: You must install the external devices first, before installing the internal 3.5" device. 4. Slide the external 5.25" device into the drive cage from the front. Since the drive cage is upside down, your drive should be too so that it will be properly orientated once the cage is installed in the Minuet 350. 5. Align the bottom rear screw holes (one at each side) on the device with the two screw holes (the pair closest to the front of the cage) on the cage and fasten the device with the screws provided. (See picture 5) 6. Slide the external 3.5" device into the drive cage from the front. Since the drive cage is upside down, your drive should be too so that it will be properly orientated once the cage is installed in the Minuet 350. 7.

To install the internal 3.5" device, find the two mounting prongs on one side of the bay. With one hand holding the device at a 45-degree angle with the bottom side up, align the two screw holes on one side of the device with the prongs and slide the device into the bay. (See picture 7) 9. Fasten the other side of the device to the two tabs with the screws provided. (See picture 8.) 10. When sliding the Cage back into the case, work slowly and carefully to ensure that the front panels of the external devices align properly with the holes provided for them in the bezel. 11.

drive bay covers.

To remove the external 5.25” drive bay cover, face the
front of the case and use your left hand thumb to press
firmly on the LEFT or outside edge of the left bay cover
to release it. (See picture 3)
b.
To remove the external 3.5” drive bay cover, face the

press firmly on the RIGHT or outside edge of the right
bay cover to release it. (See picture 4)

: You must install the external devices first, before
installing the internal 3.5” device.
4.
Slide the external 5.25” device into the drive cage from
the front. Since the drive cage is upside down, your drive
should be too so that it will be properly orientated once the
cage is installed in the Minuet 350.
5.
Align the bottom rear screw holes (one at each side) on the
device with the two screw holes (the pair closest to the
front of the cage) on the cage and fasten the device with
the screws provided. (See picture 5)

Slide the external 3.5” device into the drive cage from
the front. Since the drive cage is upside down, your drive
should be too so that it will be properly orientated once the
cage is installed in the Minuet 350.

Align the bottom rear screw holes (one at each side) on the
device with the two screw holes on the cage and fasten the
device with the screws provided. (See picture 6)
8.
To install the internal 3.5” device, find the two mounting
prongs on one side of the bay. With one hand holding the
device at a 45-degree angle with the bottom side up, align
the two screw holes on one side of the device with the
prongs and slide the device into the bay. (See picture 7)
9.
Fasten the other side of the device to the two tabs with the
screws provided. (See picture 8.)
10. When sliding the Cage back into the case, work slowly and
carefully to ensure that the front panels of the external de-
vices align properly with the holes provided for them in the
bezel.
