Antec Titan550 Server tower: howto install drives?


Just got my new box today. Asus mobo w/dual Opteron CPUs, 2Gig ram, lots of goodies. But, I want to transfer my drives from the old box to the new case.

For some reason, there are no installation instructions. The Antec website docs range somewhere between sparse and non-existant.

How does one install the hard and optical drives with those clip thingies?

Is it necessary to remove the front face of the box? With the clips on the drives, they don't fit the bays from front or back as the box now stands.

It's a long time until 9 AM tomorrow when I can call the vendor for instructions. I'd like to have it up and running before the grandkids wake up.

This isn't the exact same Antec case as you have, but it's got a lot of pictures and the drive mounts are the same as what I've got in my Antec case. You need to scroll down pretty far but hopefully it will be helpful

Thank you JW. Although it's not identical, it tells me what I need to know. I think it'll work.
