To your top right, the placement for two optical devices like DVD-ROM etc. The motherboard tray has a nice large cutout behind the CPU socket to help you with back plate installation for larger CPU coolers. Just below the opticals you get a HDD bay for two HDDs, the Pro model will have en extra bay for an additional three SSD/HDDs. Again, all these cages can be removed/added easily with thumbscrews.

You'll find tool-less drive trays that will support 3.5" drives ready to be inserted into the chassis. Installation of the HDDs is really easy. You can place them into one of the 3.5" drive trays by slightly bending on each side to create additional room for the drive to fit into. Once on the tray the hard drive is locked in place with four pins that fit into the screw holes on the sides.

Then just slide them into the drive bay and at the rear side you can connect them and route cabling. Cable routing is a strong point for this chassis series btw, we'll demonstrate that in the next few pages as well.

See the two extended trays at the bottom of the motherboard compartment? You can mount two SSD there, with screws though. Basically you mount it on the tray secure it with four screws on the backside, insert and secure it with a thumbscrew. Easy-peasy.
