IDs for simple-swap hard disk drives
The simple-swap-drive ID that is assigned to each drive is printed on the front of
the server. The following illustration shows the location of the IDs of the
simple-swap hard disk drives.
The ID numbers and the drive bay numbers are the same.
Installing an optional DVD drive
Note: If your server does not come with a DVD drive bay, you can purchase and
install the optical drive cage and bezel option. The option includes the
components that allow you to install an optional DVD drive in your server
(see “Installing an optional optical drive cage” on page 80).
To install an optional DVD drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 44.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables.
