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 6023L-8R accommodates only slim-line
CD-ROM drives. Side mounting brackets are typically needed to mount a
slim-line CD-ROM drive in the 6023L-8R 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.
2. Installing/removing 5 1/4" drive bay component
A single 5 1/4" IDE drive bay is located in the front of the chassis, making
it easily accessible for installation and removal. This component is not
hot-swappable, meaning system power must be turned off before
installing and/or removing them. To remove the drive carrier, first power
down the system and then remove the top cover of the chassis. Un-
screw the retention screw at the top center of the drive, then push the
drive carrier out from the back until you can grasp and pull it out through
the front of the chassis. Attach the component to the carrier if installing.
Then reverse the drive carrier removal procedure to install the drive,
making sure you screw in the retention screw. Replace the top cover
when finished.
