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 8016B-TLF accomodates only slim-line DVD-ROM
drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim-line DVD-ROM drive
in the 8016B-TLF server.
You must power down the system before installing or removing a fl oppy or DVD-
ROM drive. First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out
until it locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, release the thumbscrew at the rear of
the top chassis cover. Then depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis 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.
With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the drive
you want to remove. Then 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. Pull the tab
away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the chassis. 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 following:
•
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.
