Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
Installing Components in the 5.25" Drive Bays
Two 5.25" drive bays are located in the front of the chassis. Drives installed here are
not connected to the SAS backplane and are not hot-swappable, meaning system
power must be turned off before installing and/or removing them.
To remove the drive carrier, fi rst power down the system and then remove the top
cover of the chassis. Unscrew the retention screw at the top center of the drive,
then push the drive carrier out from the back until you can grasp and pull it out
through the front of the chassis. Attach the component to the carrier if installing.
Then reverse the drive carrier removal procedure to install the drive, making sure
you screw in the retention screw. Replace the top cover when fi nished.
DVD-ROM Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM
drive bay. The 6025B-3/6025B-3R accomodates only slim type DVD-ROM drives.
Side mounting brakets are typically needed to mount a slim DVD-ROM drive in the
6025B-3/6025B-3R server.
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. You must power down the system before installing or removing a
DVD-ROM drive.
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed
in their bays. A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.
