DVD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM
and fl oppy drive bays. The NovaScale R423 accomodates only slim type DVD-ROM
drives. Side mounting brakets are typically needed to mount a slim DVD-ROM drive
in the NovaScale R423 server.
Accessing the inside of the chassis
Release the retention screws that secure the server unit to the rack.
Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click").
Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top
cover and at the same time, push the cover away from you until it stops. You
can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside
of the server. Note: You must power down the system before installing or
removing fl oppy or IDE components.
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed
in their bays.
The fl oppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.
A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.
A single fl oppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to
provide for two fl oppy disk drives. The connector with twisted wires always
connects to drive A, and the connector that does not have twisted wires always
connects to drive B.
