Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Accessing the Drive Bays

Serial ATA Drives: Because of their hot-swap capability, you do not need to access the inside of the
chassis or power down the system to install or replace Serial ATA drives. Proceed to the next step for
instructions.

DVD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing a DVD-ROM drive, you'll need to gain ac- cess to the inside
of the R,C7132 by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "DVD-ROM Drive Installa-
tion" section later in this chapter for instructions.

Note: Only a "slim" DVD-ROM drive will fit into the RMC7132.

SATA Drive Installation

The SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chas-
sis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the Serial ATA drive bays. For this reason,
even empty carriers without Serial ATA drives installed must remain in the chassis.

The SATA drives are hot-swappable, meaning they can be installed and removed without powering
down the system
