Installing Components in the 5.25" Drive Bays
The 7046A-HR+/7046A-HR+F has three 5.25" drive bays. Components such as an
extra fl oppy drive, IDE hard drives or DVD-ROM drives can be installed into these
5.25" 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-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-ROM drive using the holes provided.
2.
Slide the DVD-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 a Floppy Drive
1.
Install a fl oppy drive into one of the removed empty drive carriers
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.
