About this task
To install an optional DVD drive, complete the following steps:
Procedure

"Installation guidelines" on page 33.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords
and all external cables.

is removed. Before you disconnect the power source, make a note of which
LEDs are lit, including the LEDs that are lit on the operation information
panel, on the light path diagnostics panel, and LEDs inside the server on the
system board.
3. Remove the cover (see "Removing the cover" on page 36).
4. Remove the DVD drive filler panel if it is installed. Locate the blue release tab
on the rear of the DVD drive filler panel; then, while you press the tab, push
the DVD drive filler panel out of the drive bay.
