2.8.3 Replacing optical drive (optional)
This server system supports a slim-type optical disk drive. Follow the steps below
to replace the optical disk drive.
1. Remove the screw that secures the
optical drive. Keep the screw for
reassembly.
2. Remove the SATAII/SAS drive tray
by pushing the spring lock to the
right, then pulling the tray lever
outward. The drive tray ejects
slightly after you pull out the lever.
3. Firmly hold the tray lever and pull
the drive tray out of the bay.
4. Pull the optical drive module.
5. Carefully insert the replacement
optical disk drive module into the
drive bay until it is securely seated
in place.
6. Carefully insert the drive tray and
push it all the way to the depth of
the bay until just a small fraction of
the tray edge protrudes.
7. Push the tray lever until it clicks,
and secures the drive tray in place.
The drive tray is correctly placed
when its front edge aligns with the
bay edge.
8. Secure the optical drive with the
screw that you removed in step 1.
