DVD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM
and fl oppy drive bays. The AS2041M-32R+/2041M-T2R+ accomodates only slim-
line DVD-ROM drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim-line
DVD-ROM drive in the AS2041M-32R+/2041M-T2R+ server.
You must power down the system before installing or removing a fl oppy or DVD-
ROM drive.
1.
First, release the retention screws that secure the server unit to the rack.
2.
Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks
(you will hear a "click").
3.
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.
4.
With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the
drive you want to remove.
5.
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.
6.
Pull the tab away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the
chassis.
7.
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 fol-
lowing:
• The fl oppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.
• A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.
• A single fl oppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to provide
for two fl oppy 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.
