ERVER 6013P-8+ Manual
CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the CD-ROM
and floppy drive bays. The 6013P-8+ accomodates only slim CD-ROM drives.
Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim CD-ROM drive in the 6013P-
8+ server.
You must power down the system before installing or removing a floppy or CD-
ROM drive. First, 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.
With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the drive
you want to remove. Then locate the locking tab at the rear of the drive. It will
be on the left side of the drive when viewed from the front of the chassis. Pull
the tab away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the chassis.
Add a new drive by following this procedure in reverse order. You may hear a faint
*click* of the locking tab when the drive is fully inserted. Remember to reconnect
the data and power cables to the drive before replacing the chassis cover and
restoring power to the system. Please be aware of the following:
• The floppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.
• A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.
• A single floppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to
provide for two floppy 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.
