5.25” Drive Cage
Some cases will also have removable
cages for 5.25" drives, such as CD-RW drives. Working with a 5.25" cage
is usually the same as working with a 3.5" cage. Either the 5.25" drives
will be attached to the cage with screws or sometimes rails will be
attached to the drive and then the rails slide into place in the cage.
If rails come with your case, just attach the rails to the drive and
insert the drive. Be sure the rails aren’t upside down or backward.
This particular case doesn’t
use a 5.25" removable cage. And, it doesn’t have removable rails
which are attached to the sides of the drives. Rather, for each drive
bay, it has levers that pull out. Then the drive is placed into its
bay and pushed into place, and the levers are closed to engage the drive
and hold it in place (Figure 51).
This design doesn’t even require a screwdriver.
Figure 51: 5.25” Drive Levers This case has little levers that pull out. Then, the 5.25” device is inserted. Then, the lever is closed to secure the drive. Your PC case will have its own method of securing 5.25” drives to it.
