Figure 6-5. Removing a SATA Drive from the Server
DVD-ROM Drive Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM and
floppy drive bays. The StorTrends 1300 accommodates only slim-line DVD-ROM drives.
Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim-line DVD-ROM drive.
You must power down the system before installing or removing a DVD-ROM drive. First,
release the retention screws that secure the server unit to the rack. Grasp the two handles
on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click"). Next,
depress 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.
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:

A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.
