Installing and removing drives
Your server’s basic configuration includes one optical drive and as many as 10
3.5-inch SATA or SAS hot-swap hard drives. You can also add an optional diskette
drive.
As you prepare to install drives, remember:
■ Before you install a drive, see the drive’s documentation for information
on configuring the drive, setting drive jumpers, and attaching cables.
■ You may need to configure the drives you install using the BIOS Setup
utility. Press F2 at startup to open the BIOS Setup utility.
Removing and installing an optical drive
To remove and install an optical drive:
Caution
The optical drive is not hot-swappable.
Before installing or removing the drive,
make sure that power is turned off and
the power cord(s) is unplugged.
1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 28 . Make sure that you turn off the server, then unplug the power
cord(s) and all other cables connected to the server.
2 Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 29 .
3 Unlock the bezel (if necessary) and remove it by pulling it from the chassis.
4 Remove the data and power cables from the back of the optical drive.

the release latch (1) counter-clockwise and pull the optical drive (2) out
of the chassis.
