Re: Model 200 - One More Time

Once you get the drives out, remember to tag each one as to which bay they came from...

Hammer? Crowbar? BFH? Next thing they'll say "Heat Wrench!" (Acetylene
Torch for the unknowing). Neanderthals!

Opening it up isn't hard. First git yerself a 7MM socket and chuck it up
in yer drill/driver and lock the driver into reverse. Then pull the
front cover straight off. Around back loosen the screw at the top
center. Slide it back and lift it up. Then remove the two screws at the
top of each plastic side cover and they will fall off. From here on it's
a simple matter of removing every freekin screw you can find. The sides
will fall off once the screws are off. Up to four drives will be on the
left and up to eight on the right. In each case you'll need to pull off
the power and data cables then the drives will simply pull out (though
they are fairly stiff.)

Good Luck!

The box is toast, but I'll try one more thing. Does anyone know how I can open it up to get at the drive(s), power supply, etc.

Thanks,

PS - this system doesn't run any company. This was a giveaway I sometimes use if a small project comes up.
