Identifying guide screws
When installing drives in the removable media bay, guide screws must be installed to make sure the drives
align correctly in the drive cage. HP has provided extra guide screws, 5.25 M3 metric screws and/or HD
6-32 shipping screws, located behind the media bay blank. The metric screws are black.
Installing a half-height or full-height media device
The server includes five removable media bays. The server ships with an optical drive, and the other four
bays have blanks. You can install two full-height devices or up to four additional half-height media devices in
the removable media cage.
