Installing Components in the 5.25" Drive Bays

The 4041M-32R+ has three 5.25" drive bays. Components such as an extra fl oppy
drive, IDE hard drives or DVD/CD-ROM drives can be installed into these 5.25"
drive bays.
Mounting Components in the Drive Bays
1.
First power down the system and then remove the top/left chassis cover to
access the drive components.
2.
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 DVD-CD-ROM Drive
1.
Remove the guide plates (one on each side) from the empty drive carrier
and screw them into both sides of the DVD/CD-ROM drive using the holes
provided.
2.
Slide the DVD/CD-ROM into the bay and secure it to the chassis with the
drive carrier screws you fi rst removed.
3.
Attach the power and data cables to the drive.
4.
Replace the top/left chassis cover before restoring power to the system.
Adding an IDE or Floppy Drive
1.
Install one of these drives 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.
2.
Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws then slide the assembly into
the bay and secure it to the chassis with the drive carrier screws you fi rst
removed.
3.
Attach the power and data cables to the drive.
4.
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 airfl ow inside the chassis.
