Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Removing the Front Bezel

If your system has a front bezel (optional) attached to the chassis, you must first remove it to gain access to the drive bays.
To remove the bezel, first unlock the front of the chassis then press the release knob (see Figure 6-3). Carefully re- move the
bezel with both hands. A filter located within the bezel can be removed for replacement/cleaning. It is recommended that you
keep a maintenance log of filter cleaning/replacement, since its condition will affect the airflow throughout the whole system.

Accessing the Drive Bays

SATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the inside of the chassis or power down the
system to install or replace SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions. Note: The operating system you use must
have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the drives.

DVD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing a DVD-ROM drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the server by
removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section in this chapter for instructions.
Note that only a "slim" DVD-ROM drive will fit into the RMC 7155.

SATA Drive Installation

help promote proper airflow for the system. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the
chassis.

1. Install a new drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with
those in the carrier.
2. Secure the drive to the
