DVD, diskette, and CD-RW drives

The server is shipped with one DVD drive. You can install an optional DVD
drive, 3.5-inch diskette drive, or CD-RW drive.

To install an optional media drive:

1.

Power down the server ("Powering down the server" on page

37

).

CAUTION: Always populate each media bay with either a device

or a blank. Proper airflow can only be maintained when the bays are
populated. Unpopulated drive bays can lead to improper cooling and
thermal damage.

IMPORTANT: By default, the DVD drive is installed in the lower

drive bay. To boot from a DVD or CD-RW drive in the upper drive bay or
to boot from a diskette drive in the lower bay, change the boot device
selector switch to FLP BOT.

NOTE: If two optical drives are installed in the server, the server

will first attempt to boot from the primary optical drive. The boot device
selector switch setting determines which drive is the primary optical
drive.
