6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Accessing the Drive Bays

DVD-ROM/Serial ATA Drives: For installing or removing the DVD-ROM or SATA

drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the server by removing the top

cover of the chassis.

Note:

The DVD drive is optional and does not come pre-

installed in the system. Only a "slim" DVD-ROM will fi t in the 5017R-MF.

Accessing the Inside of the System

1. Power down the system and remove the AC power cord.

2. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it

locks (you will hear a "click").

3. Next, remove the screws from the lips on either side of the cover then de-

press the two buttons on the cover to release it.

4. Push the cover away from you then lift it from the chassis to gain full access

to the inside of the server.
