To install a removable-media drive in one of the left front bays:
1. Review the information in"Before you begin" on page 43.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices. Disconnect all external cables and
remove the top cover.
3. Remove the media-bay bezel.
4. Remove the filler panel from the bay opening. Keep the filler panel nearby.

left front bays covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the
filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove the drive and do not
replace it with another.
5. Touch the static-protective bag containing the drive to any unpainted metal
surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the bag and place it on a
static-protective surface.
6. Remove the snap-on slide rails from the filler panel and snap the rails on the
drive. Store the filler panel for later use.
