Removing the DVD/CD-ROM Drive

The universal media bay supports hot-pluggable IDE devices and ships standard with
a DVD-ROM drive. The bay also supports other removable media devices, such as a
CD-ROM drive.

CAUTION: Before removing a drive, be sure to stop the drive using the Windows
2000 Unplug/Eject Hardware applet. Failure to do so will result in a “surprise-style”
removal and may result in system failure.

1. Locate the DVD drive on the front of the server in the universal media bay.

2. The universal media bay ejector button is recessed. Use a tool such as a key,

screwdriver, or the provided Torx tool to push the drive ejector button to release
the drive (1).

3. Slide the drive out of the module (2).
