Removing and Replacing a DVD Drive
Each ftServer 2600, 4500, and 6300 system includes a single DVD drive that is
installed in the front panel.
You perform this procedure when replacing a defective DVD drive and also when
replacing the system front panel. (See “Removing and Replacing a Front Panel” on
page 5-6.) You do not need to power down the system or either CPU-I/O enclosure to
perform this procedure. See the following topics:
• “Removing a DVD Drive” on page 5-46
• “Replacing a DVD Drive” on page 5-47
Estimated time: Seven minutes.
Tools: Phillips head number 1 or 2 screwdriver.
Use ESD precautions when performing this procedure.
Removing a DVD Drive
The DVD drive is not hot-pluggable. Do not remove a DVD
drive with the front panel plugged in.
1. Remove the bezel.
2. See the procedure “Removing the Front Panel” on page 5-6 to disconnect, but not
remove, the front panel from the system backplane. Pull the front panel out a few
inches to disengage it from the system backplane.
3. Loosen the thumbscrew (number 1 in Figure 5-26) at the top front of the DVD drive.
