Installing a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive

The following notes describe the types of CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives that your server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive:

vYour xSeries 450 server supports up to two CD-ROM drives, or two DVD-ROM drives, or a combination.

vIf you have only one IDE device installed, it must be installed in the right removable-media bay. CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives can be installed in either removable-media bay.

Complete the following steps to install a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive in your server:

1.Read the safety information beginning on page 197 and “Installation guidelines” on page 77.

2.Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external devices from the back of the server.

3.Push the drive-eject button to the right.

4.Inspect the drive for any signs of damage.

5.Slide the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive into the drive bay until it stops.
