4-2 Installing Options and Connecting Devices
Installing Devices in the File Bays
The NEC Versa Dock has two 5. 25-inch half-height bays for installing optional devices. The bay located on the right front of the NEC Versa Dock (the side closest to the keylock), supports the installation of an optional VersaBay III Adapter Kit. Installing the Adapter Kit transforms the bay into a VersaBay III. You can then use your optional VersaBay III devices in the NEC Versa Dock. Installing devices in the file bays involves the following procedures:
!!
Removing the NEC Versa Dock docking tray, front panel, and cable cover. Disconnecting the cables from the motherboard. Installing the device in the NEC Versa Dock. Reconnecting the cables to the motherboard. Replacing the NEC Versa Dock cable cover, front panel, and docking tray.
Use the instructions in the sections that follow to install an IDE device in a file bay and to install the optional VersaBay III Adapter Kit.
Removing Trays, Panels, and Covers
Before installing a device in one of the NEC Versa Dock file bays, you must remove the docking tray, front panel, and cable cover. Unplug the NEC Versa Dock, disconnect any peripheral devices that are attached, and undock the NEC Versa if it is docked. Disconnect any external cables that might be attached on an installed PCI board (such as a network board). Turn the keylock switch to the Manual position to disengage the motor mechanism.
