4.5 CD-ROM Drive

The server comes with the CD-ROM drive already installed. This section tells how to remove and re-install the CD-ROM drive.

You will need to remove the CD-ROM drive for either one of the following reasons:

1.You need to replace the drive

2.You need to remove the motherboard. The CD-ROM drive overlaps with the top right corner of the motherboard, so you can not get it out without moving the drive outward.

Remove the CD-ROM Drive

1.Disconnect the power and IDE cables from the drive.

2.Remove the four screws (two on each side) that secure the drive to the chassis.

3.Carefully pull the drive out of the chassis.

NOTE

If you are doing the above procedure for the purpose of removing the motherboard, you do not have to completely remove the drive from the chassis. Simply pull out the drive for about an inch, or until you can access the motherboard. In this instance, you also have to pull out the hot-swap drive trays because they, too, overlap with the motherboard.
