Hi,

My new case has a rail system for the 5 1/4 inch drives. How do I install these? Do I screw the rails to the drive and then slide them in? Which was would I position the clip?

Ok I see you've posted multiple questions...

Did your case come with a manual?

If not, hit the manufacturer's website and read the instructions there.

Nope, unfortunately no manual, and no info that I can see on Coolermasters site. BTW, its a Coolermaster ATC-710GX2.

Any help is appreciated!

Yeah, screw the rails onto the drives. If they're the typical kind, and have the metal on one end curled around in kind of a tube shape, that part goes on the front.
Once on, the drives should slide in and click. To remove, just press the metal clips in a little bit and pull.

Edit:
Just checked pics of that case, and the rails look just my Antec's rails. Heck, the whole case does. The end of the rail that's all plastic goes at the back of the drive, and the end with the metal clip goes on the front. May have to play with the position of the screws a little to get it to sit flush with your case.
