To install a 3.5 drive

Page 15 highlights

There are two dedicated 2.5" drive bays in the P280. To install a 2.5" drive: 1. With the side panel open, slide your 2.5" drive into the drive bay so that the drive's holes align with the drive bay holes. 2. Secure your drive with the 2.5" screws provided (D in Section 1.3). Slide your 2.5" drive into the drive bay so that the drive's holes align with the drive bay holes. Secure your drive with the provided 2.5" screws. The P280 has six drive bays that are compatible with both 3.5" and 2.5" drives. To install a 3.5" drive: 1. Remove one of the drive trays by pinching the ends of the tray inward and pulling the drive tray out. 2. Place your 3.5" drive on the tray so that the holes line up with the silicone grommets. 3. Using the 3.5" drive screws (E in Section 1.3); secure your 3.5" drive to the tray. We recommend using your hand to find the exact threading of the drive's holes then using a screwdriver to completely secure your drive. Do not over-tighten the screws as this will minimize the grommets' ability to reduce vibration. 14 Use your hand to find the drive's holes. Screw in the holes to secure your drive.
