2) Carefully slide out the side approximately 3 inches.
3) Unplug the red and white cable for the LED.
4) Slide out the rest of the side.
Installing the hard drive in the NexStar 3:
1) Connect the IDE or SATA cable and power cable to the hard drive as pictured
below.

2) Fold the cables so that they are out of the way. Align the hard drive mounting holes with the holes on the side of the drive caddy. See picture below.
3) Secure the hard drive onto the drive caddy with the screws provided. See
picture below for where the screws are to go.
4) Insert the drive caddy back into the aluminum housing. Be sure to reconnect the LED cable before closing the unit. When reinserting the caddy, also
