I have just bought a Z1 G1i desk top. There are blanks to be removed where a DVD should be. Inside the case, there is no carriage to mount my 9.5 ODD. There seems to be no fixing points either. Please point me in the direction of fitting an internal drive to utilise the slots in the case. Thank you

Hi @John3Seymour,

 

Thank you for posting your query, I would be glad to help you!

 

It looks like you are facing an issue with the ODD drive on your new Z1 G1i  Workstation.

It could be a dummy slot, however we can only confirm once we have your device details,
Please connect with me via DM and share the device details, so that I can check the product specifications and assist your further.

Thank you Harry. I am ok with connecting to the mother board, however, the power connection is baffling. No one seems to be able to help with the 6way and 2way plugs provided. Hard ware is 9.5 ODD, and crucial SDD

Thanks for keeping in touch. My 9.5mm optical drive is a Fujitsu model:UJ252. Data and power connections combined are 25mm. 
The Crucial SSD is a MX500 2.5,  combined plugs measure 44mm. I believe they are both male connections. 
HP in India have sent one cable code(I asked for 2) , which is :  P298-45-001. Hope this is right for one of them! Regards John
