Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
Serial ATA Drives: Because of their hot-swap 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.
DVD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing a DVD-ROM disk drive, you will need
to gain access to the inside of the server by removing the top cover of the chas-
sis. Proceed to the "DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for
instructions.
Note: Only a "slim" DVD-ROM drive will fi t into the 5016I-T/5016I-TF.
Serial ATA Drive Installation
The SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the
Serial ATA drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without Serial ATA drives
installed must remain in the chassis.
The SATA drives are hot-swappable, meaning they can be installed and removed
without powering down the system
