Installing storage media
 | Loss of data Working with storage media can lead to data loss. Save your data and switch off the devices before you install or remove storage media. |
Devices of the CX2000 Embedded PC series can be expanded with additional 2½-inch slots for storage media using extension modules. The CX2550-0020 extension module can be used to install storage media, such as HDD and SSD.
How to install storage media in the extension module:
- 1. Insert one side of the storage medium on the hard disk frame mounting pins. The storage medium has matching mounting brackets.
Make sure that the label on the hard disk frame (HDD connector) and the contacts on the storage medium face towards you. In this way the storage medium is installed the right way round in the hard disk frame. - 2. Tighten the hard disk frame with little force to the storage medium and insert the other side of the storage medium on the mounting pins.
- 3. Push the storage medium attached to the hard disk frame into the 2½-inch slot of your extension module, with the contacts side first.
Guide rails at the hard disk frame ensure that the hard disk frame with the storage medium faces the right way. - 4. Screw the hard disk frame to the extension module, then put the cover on the extension module.
- After the storage medium has been installed, it is detected automatically by the basic CPU module and is ready to use.
In the next step you can set up a RAID system.
