6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Accessing the Drive Bays

Hard Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace hard drives. Proceed to the next section for instructions.

DVD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing a DVD-ROM drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the system by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.

Note: Only a "slim" DVD-ROM drive will fit into the server chassis.

Hard Drive Installation

The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chas- sis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis.

Installing a Hard Drive into a Drive Carrier (Figure 6-3)

1.Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connec- tor end toward the rear of the carrier.
