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 6021i accomodates only slim-line 5.25-inch CD-ROM
drives. Side mounting brakets are typically needed to mount a slim-line CD-ROM
drive in a 6021i server.
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.
You must power down the system before installing or removing floppy or
IDE components.
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and
fully installed in their bays.
• 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.
