Drives
You can install up to two optical drives or up to three hard drives in the server. The second optical drive bay can
support a SATA or SCSI hard drive.
Cable management
Always follow good cable management practices when working inside the computer.
• Keep cables away from major heat sources like the heatsink.
• Do not jam cables on top of expansion cards or memory modules. Printed circuit cards are not designed to
withstand excessive pressure.
• Keep cables clear of sliding or moveable parts to prevent cutting or crimping.
• When folding a flat ribbon cable, never fold to a sharp crease. Sharp creases may damage the wires.
• Some flat ribbon cables come prefolded. Never change the folds on these cables.
• Do not sharply bend any cable. A sharp bend can break the internal wires.
• Never bend a SATA data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius.
• Never crease a SATA data cable.
• Do not rely on components like the drive cage, power supply, or system cover to push cables down into the
chassis.
When removing the power supply power cables from the P2 or P3 connectors on the system board, always
follow these steps:
1. Squeeze on the top of the retaining latch attached to the cable end of the connector.
2. Grasp the cable end of the connector and pull it straight up.
CAUTION: Always pull the connector - NEVER pull on the cable. Pulling on the cable could damage the
cable and result in a failed power supply.
