My original idea was to remove the 1.5TB internal harddrive and insert in the server, and keep the cabinet for harddrive testing ( Easier with USB PnP then to pop the case open and plug in on SATA ).
For 1095KR I though this was the best solution for my economic, so I eagerly bought it!
Got home and was just about to pop the cabinet open, when i realized... No screws? What the hell!
Contacted Western Digital for their Service manual, no response.
After 2hours I finally found the solution, and no; Google didn't help a bit.
So, why not be the first to show how this babe is cracked open?
Those were the tool I used, can't remember where I got them but worked like a charm.
I used my fingernail to get in between the bost plastic pieces, I imagine a screwdriver, knife or similar works just as fine.
Apply your tool here, yes where you had your nail/knife/screwdriver before.
Note: The tool can be anything. Just something that you can hook the plastic plate on and pull upwards with.
Pry it open with gentle pressure until it cracks open!
Already removed the harddrive as you can see, but this is the inside at least!
Also, when you disassemble it you will notice four small rubber feets that makes a distance between the cabinet and the harddrive, do NOT lose these. And when you reassemble; Make sure you place them correctly, that is the small tracks in the plastic.
