Installing Components in the 5 1/4" Drive Bays

1. Drive bay configuration
The 7043M-8/7043M-6 has four 5 1/4" drive bays above the SCSI drive bays.
Components such as a floppy drive, IDE hard drives, CD-ROM drives or
additional SCSI drives (that can fit into a standard IDE drive bay) can be
installed in these 5 1/4" drive bays. SCSI drives installed here should be
connected to the JA2 (SCSI channel B) connector on the motherboard.
2. Mounting components in the drive bays
First power down the system and then remove the top/left chassis cover
to access the drive components. With the cover off, remove the two or
four screws that secure the drive carrier to the chassis (one side only)
then push the entire empty drive carrier out from the back.
Adding a CD-ROM drive: remove the guide plate from right side of the
empty drive carrier and screw it into the right side of the CD-ROM drive
using the holes provided (see Figure 6-7). Then slide the CD-ROM into
the bay and secure it to the chassis with the drive carrier screws you
first removed. Attach the power and data cables to the drive. Replace
the top/left chassis cover before restoring power to the system.
Adding an IDE, SCSI or floppy drive: to add one of these drives, install it
into one of the removed empty drive carriers with the printed circuit board
side toward the carrier so that the drive's mounting holes align with those
in the carrier.

the drive. Replace the top/left chassis cover before restoring power to
the system.
Note: A red wire typically designates the location of pin 1. You should
keep the drive carriers inserted in any unused drive bays to reduce EMI
and noise and to facilitate the airflow inside the chassis.
