Antec Sonata

[TheZecharon]

Ok guys, I got my Antec Sonata today and I can't figure how to put my HDD in. Can I use the screws that came with the case to screw it in to place? Does the HDD rack come out? Did I need screws from my HDD because I bought mine OEM. Any help will be appreciated.

They mount through the bottom of the HD rail, look at the bottom of your HD; you should see how it works.

if i remember correctly there were rubber washers that go between the little rack mounts and the hard drive. once you have the left and right mounts screwed on it just kinda slides into the area ment for hard drives

the hdd tray slides out by pressing the two metal tabs in each side. your case should come with special screws that are wider on the "butt". those should be used for the hdds.

Do you put wires in or out? Also, read my thread on adding a right-panel door. Tell me what you think.

Assuming you have the case laid down. Look to the bottom right corner of the case. You should see 4 little trays. If you pinch the metal sides, they should get loose and you'll be able to slide it out. There are holes on one side of your HDD, coincidentally, there are holes on these trays. So line up the holes and use the correct screw and screw it in and then slide the tray back into it's former place.

It doesn't matter if you have the wires facing in or out. obviously facing out you can mess with it easier. Depends how much of an airflow freak you are.

You can put them either way. Placing them inward is more aesthetically pleasing, but leaving them visible is more convenient for disconnecting.
