To install a DVD drive on 4U server models with non-hot-swap power supplies,
complete the following steps. For the 5U server model with hot-swap power
supplies, please see the next sub-section.
1. Read the safety information in “Safety” on page vii and “Installation
guidelines” on page 35.
2. Follow the instructions that come with the drive to set jumpers or switches, if
there are any.
Note: You might find it easier to install the new drive from the front and then
attach the cables.
3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new DVD drive to any
unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the DVD drive from the
package and place it on a static-protective surface.
4. Stand the server back up in its vertical position.
5. Remove the drive retainer clip from the side of the drive cage of bay 1 or bay
2. Slide the drive retainer clip to the front to remove it from the drive cage;
then, snap the drive retainer clip into the screw holes on the side of the drive.
6. Push the drive into the bay.
7. Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat.
Attention: Do not allow the server to fall over.
8. Connect the power (power connector P9) and signal cables to the drive.
Note: Route the signal cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of
the drives or over the microprocessor and dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs).
9. If you have another drive to install or remove, do so now.
10. Install the side cover (see “Replacing the side cover” on page 182).
11. Install the bezel (see “Replacing the bezel” on page 188).
