This product makes it possible to install one or two hard disk drives
(hereafter, HDD). When installing two HD D, be sur e to set the HDD as
the first drive (Master) or second drive (Slave). Setting as the first or the
second HDD is done by setting the jumpers on the HDD.
If a pre-formatted HDD is installed as the second HDD, the first drive
becomes drive C and the second drive becomes drive D. If an
unformatted H DD is installed, it becomes drive D after formatting (if
the 1st drive is not divided into multiple partitions).

3.With the bracket at the side of the frame unit, fast en the lower HDD
to the frame unit with the lower HDD mounting screws from the
rear of the frame unit (two places.) Fasten the other bracket in the
same way.
CAUTION

torque of 29.4 cN•m {3 kgF• cm}. If a force greater than this is
exerted in tightening, it could cause the HDD to malfunction.
❏Do not use other than the supplied screws. If you use, the HDD
and the IM-300 can be damaged.
❏Both the rear holes and the side holes on the HDD may differ
depending on the HDD. Tighten the mounting screws at the
appropriate places.
4.Connect the other HDD to the upper connector on the frame unit.

with screws. If it is pushed from above, it is possible that the
connector pins could be bent, so please exercise caution when
handling it.
Installation in the IM-300
Install the 2HDD bracket in the IM-300 using the following procedure.
CAUTION
During installation, please be careful not to subject the drive to
impacts or vibration. Since the hard disk is a precision device, it
could be damaged by impacts or vibrations.

Precautions When Using
❏Set the HDD unit that is to be the first drive (Master) and the
second drive (Slave) using the jumpers on the HDD. It does not
matter which HDD, the first drive or the second drive, is conn ected
to which connector. Also, if both drives are set on the same setting
(Master and Master, or Slave and Slave), they will not work, so
please exercise caution.
❏The 2HDD bracket can be installed with only one HDD. At this
time, be sure to use the HDD with the jumper removed (open).
❏If only one HDD unit is used with the 2HDD bracket, be sure to
connect it to the lower connector. Do not connect a single HDD to
the upper connector.
❏In the IM-300 system, there is no HDD mirroring function. If you
save the data on the first HDD onto the second HDD, use the
commercial backup utilities.
❏If the second HDD is not recognized, check the Standard CMOS
Setup in the BIOS Setup utility to see if the Primary Slave TYPE
setting is on AUTO (if it is not set on NONE).
❏The HDD DMA is not supported in the IM-300
