AS 1041M-T2/1041M-82 User's Manual
DVD-ROM and Floppy Drive InstallationThe top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM 
and fl oppy drive bays.  The 1041M-T2/1041M-82 accomodates only slim-line DVD-
ROM drives.  Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim-line DVD-ROM 
drive in the 1041M-T2/1041M-82 server.  
You must power down the system before installing or removing a fl oppy or DVD-
ROM drive.  First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out 
until it locks (you will hear a "click").  Next, release the thumbscrew at the rear of 
the top chassis cover.  Then depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis and 
at the same time, push the cover away from you until it stops.  You can then lift the 
top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.
With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the drive 
you want to remove.  Then locate the locking tab at the rear of the drive.  It will be 
on the left side of the drive when viewed from the front of the chassis.  Pull the tab 
away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the chassis.  Add a new 
drive by following this procedure in reverse order.  You may hear a faint *click* of the 
locking tab when the drive is fully inserted.  Remember to reconnect the data and 
power cables to the drive before replacing the chassis cover and restoring power 
to the system.  Please be aware of the following:     
•  The fl oppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.  
•  A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.
•  A single fl oppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to provide 
for two fl oppy disk drives.  The connector with twisted wires always connects to 
drive A, and the connector that does not have twisted wires always connects to 
drive B.
