Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
Serial ATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to
access the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or
replace Serial ATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
CD-ROM/Floppy Disk Drives: For installing/removing a CD-ROM or floppy disk
drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the 6013A-T by remov-
ing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "CD-ROM and Floppy Drive
Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.
Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM drive will fit into the 6013A-T.
Serial ATA Drive Installation

Mounting a Serial ATA drive in a drive carrier
The Serial ATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their
installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help
promote proper airflow for the Serial ATA drive bays. For this reason,
even empty carriers without Serial ATA drives installed must remain in the
chassis. To add a new Serial ATA drive, install a drive into the carrier
with the printed circuit board side toward the carrier so that the mounting
holes align with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with
four screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.
