Mounting a Disk Drive in a Drive Carrier

Note: You must use approved standard 1" high, disk drives in the system.
DVD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing the DVD-ROM disk drive, you will need to gain
access to the inside of the server by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the
"DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.
The drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the
chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drives. For this reason, even empty
carriers without hard drives installed must remain in the chassis.
1. To add a new drive, install the drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing
down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
2. Secure the drive to the carrier with the side-mounting screws, see the example in
Figure 6-2 Mounting a Drive in a Carrier
