Installing Internal Drives

Installing a 5.25-inch Removable-Media Drive

Before you begin:

Be sure you have:

ŸRemoved the server left side cover

ŸUnlocked and opened the short bay door

ŸPrepared the drive for installation (see “Preparing to Install Options” on page 78 and “Preinstallation Steps (All Bays)” on page 163).

Notes:

1.Installing hard disk drives in these bays is not recommended. The hard disk drives generate EMI. In addition, a hard disk drive in any of these bays is more susceptible to ESD.

2.System EMI integrity and cooling are both protected by having drives installed in the bays or filler panels and EMI shields covering the bays. When you install a drive, save the panel and shield.
