Media Drives (Diskette, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Tape, or Disk Drive)
Attention: Neither the Linux nor the AIX operating system support hot-plugging any hot-pluggable PCI
adapters. All systems must be shut down and powered off before installing any PCI adapter. Use the
non-hot-pluggable adapter procedures when replacing a PCI adapter with the Linux operating system
installed.
Notes:
1. The two Slimline media bays can be used to house a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or diskette drive. For the
location of the two media bays, see the illustration on “Slimline Media”. However, if your system has a
CD-ROM drive, place it in media bay 1.
2. Hot-swap devices are not supported in the optional media device bay.
