Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

6-5

Accessing the Drive Bays

SATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the

inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace SATA drives.

Proceed to the next section for instructions.

DVD-ROM/Floppy Disk Drives: For installing/removing a DVD-ROM or ﬂ oppy disk

drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the 8014T-T by removing the

top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "DVD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation"

section later in this chapter for instructions.

Note:

Only "slim" DVD-ROM and ﬂ oppy drives will ﬁ t into the 8014T-T.
