StepStepStep

1

Ground yourself to remove any static by briefly touching your PC case

and then, disconnect the power cord from your main power supply.

StepStepStep

2

Follow your computer case manual and disassemble the case.

StepStepStep

3

Remove the front drive bay and insert the Power Express 450W into
the 5.25" drive bay.

<Note> Please be sure to bolt on all 4 screws to secure the power supply in the
chassis. (Some chassis has tool-free installation for 5.25" devices, so you don't
need 4 screws to install Power Express 450W for those chassis.)
