Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

Installing Components in the 5.25" Drive Bays

The SC822TQ-400LPB chassis has two 5.25" drive bays. Components such as an 

extra fl oppy drive or CD-ROM drives can be installed into these 5.25" drive bays.

Removing the Empty Drive Bay

First power down the system.

1. 

Remove the top/left chassis cover to access the drive components.

2. 

With the cover off, remove the screws that secure the drive carrier to the 

3. 

chassis (one side only) then push the entire empty drive carrier out from the 

back.

Adding a Slim CD-ROM Drive

5026T-3F

Remove the guide plates (one on each side) from the empty drive carrier and 

1. 

screw them into both sides of the CD-ROM drive using the holes provided.

Slide the CD-ROM into the bay and secure it to the chassis with the drive 

2. 

carrier screws you fi rst removed.

Attach the power and data cables to the drive.

3. 

Replace the top/left chassis cover and restore power to the system.

4. 

5026T-T

Because the motherboard does not have an IDE port, adding a CD-ROM drive to 

the 5026T-T will occupy one of the SATA ports on the backplane. 

Add the IDE to SATA adapter (CDM-PSATA) to any one of the SATA ports on 

1. 

the backplane to accommodate the CD-ROM drive.

Follow the procedure above to install the CD-ROM drive into the same SATA 

2. 

drive bay that you added the adapter to.

Attach the power and data cables to the drive.

3. 

Replace the top/left chassis cover and restore power to the system.

4.
