DVD-CD Drive

4-96
Note: You must power down the system before installing or removing the DVD-CD.
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-CD drive bays. The
SGI Altix XE250 accommodates only a slim DVD-CD drive. Side mounting brackets are needed
to mount the slim DVD-CD drive in the server.
Removal and Installation
1. 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. Press 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. Disconnect the power and data cables from the drive to other chassis components including
the node board and SATA backplane.
5. Remove the DVD-CD drive by pressing the release tab located at the rear of the drive.
6. Pull the drive out of the chassis.
7. Insert the new drive unit in the slot until the tab locks into place.
