DVD/CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD/CD-

ROM and fl oppy drive bays. The 6014P-T/6014P-TR accomodates only slim

DVD/CD-ROM and fl oppy drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount

the DVD/CD-ROM drive in the server.

You must power down the system before installing or removing a fl oppy or DVD/

CD-ROM drive. First, release the retention screws that secure the server unit to

the rack. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until

it locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the

chassis to release the top cover 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 ac-

cess 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.
