Thermaltake Max 4 Active Cooling Enclosure

Assembly

To install a hard disk drive in the Thermaltake Max 4, the right side cover needs to be removed by taking out the four screws as shown earlier. There are two black plastic mounting tabs inside the unit, with one on each side. Removing the single screw from each one allows the tabs to come free.


The drive being installed in the Max 4 is a Western Digital Raptor. Place one mounting tab on each side of the drive, inserting the small round bumps on each of the tabs into the screw holes on the side of the drive. Since the tabs do not stay in by themselves, they must be held in place until the next step is complete.


Lay the drive down on top of the open chassis. While holding on to the drive and the tabs, slide both of them toward the PCB until the connection is made and the screw holes line up under the mounting tabs.


Insert the two screws through the mounting tabs and tighten the screws until they are snug. The connection may not seat completely, but there should be sufficient contact.


Place the right side panel back on and replace the four screws to hold everything together. Set the assembled enclosure on top of the black plastic stand to place it upright.
