Drive bay configuration
The server supports a maximum of four internal drives. The two upper drive bays are primarily for removable
media devices, while the two lower drive bays are only for hard drives. The two upper bays are half height IDE
optical bays. The two lower drive bays can accommodate non-hot-plug hard drives.
NOTE: You can install a SATA or SCSI hard drive into the second half-height optical bay. This type of
installation requires use of a conversion kit.

Releasing drives
A drive latch with release tabs secures the drives in the drive bay. Lift the release tab on the drive latch for the
drive you want to remove, and then slide the drive from its drive bay.
Figure -7 [Releasing drives]
When replacing drives, remove the four guide screws (two on each side) from the old drive. You will need these
screws to install a new drive.
