Note: This section only applies to server models that come with a optical or tape drive. For those that come
with a 5.25-inch drive bay adapter, see “Remove the 5.25-inch drive bay adapter assembly” on page 153.
Attention:
• Read “Installation guidelines” on page 57 to ensure that you work safely.
• Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
• If the server is in a rack, remove it from the rack.
Note: The following illustrations are based on the scenario that you remove an optical drive. The procedure
is similar for removing a tape drive.
Watch the procedure. A video of the installation and removal process is available:
