Removing and replacing the media tray and optical drive or
optical drive filler
Your BladeCenter is equipped with one of two different media tray FRUs,
depending on the midplane connector design. Before you replace a media tray
FRU, identify the part number of the media tray you are replacing either by
reading the FRU label on the media tray or by logging on to the Advanced
Management Module and checking Hardware VPD information for the Media
Module. See the Advanced Management Module User's Guide or the Advanced
Management Module Command-Line Interface Reference Guide for more information
about viewing BladeCenter hardware data.
Notes:
1. If your BladeCenter Media Module information is version v4 or later, it is
compatible only with chassis hardware midplane version v8 (FRU PN 44X2302)
or later.
2. The following Media Module FRU PNs are compatible only with chassis
hardware version v6 midplane (FRU 25R5780) or earlier:
v Media module FRU PN 31R3305
v Media module FRU PN 43X0299
