Description
1
A standard primary hard drive; third-height bay
2
A standard 3.5-inch diskette drive; third-height bay
3
An optional CD-ROM drive, diskette drive (3.5-inch or 5.25-inch), or tape drive in
the top position; half-height bay
4
An optional CD-ROM drive, diskette drive (3.5-inch or 5.25-inch), or tape drive in
the bottom position; half-height bay
5
An optional CD-ROM drive, diskette drive (3.5-inch or 5.25-inch), or tape drive in
the bottom position, half-height bay
Additional hard drives may be installed into drive bays 2, 3, and 4, but these
positions are more often used for devices requiring user access.
Either a third-height or a half-height drive may be installed into a half-height
bay.
When installing optional drives, you must install one guide screw to ensure
that the drive will line up correctly in the drive cage. Install the guide screw in
the middle hole on 3.5-inch drives (drive bay 0 only) and in the front hole on
5.25-inch drives. Compaq has provided extra guide screws, installed in the
front of the server chassis, under the front bezel.
Some options use M3 metric thread hardware. The Compaq-supplied metric
screws are black.
