vCheck the instructions that come with the drive to see whether you have to set any switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SAS device, be sure to set the SAS ID for that device.

vDiskette drives, tape drives, CD drives, CD-RW drives, and DVD/CD-RW combo drives are examples of removable-media drives. You can install removable-media drives in bays 1, 2, and 3 only.

vTo install a 3.5-in. drive in a 5.25-in. bay, you must use the 5.25-in. conversion kit.

vOnly a 3.5-in. device can be installed in bay 3.

vThe server supports only one diskette drive.

vThe electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all bays and PCI, PCI Express, and PCI-X slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive or PCI, PCI Express, or PCI-X adapter, save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay or the PCI, PCI Express, or PCI-X adapter slot cover in the event that you later remove the option.

vFor a complete list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/ servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
