Replacing Floppy Or Cd-Rom Drives; Figure 17. Peripheral Drive Bay - IBM @server xSeries 343 Product Manual

Replacing Floppy or CD-ROM Drives

The peripheral bay supports either a floppy drive carrier assembly or a CD-ROM drive carrier
assembly. Both the blind-mate floppy drive carrier assembly and the blind-mate CD-ROM drive
carrier assembly can be inserted or removed when the system power is off. After the drive carrier
assembly is installed into the system, a horizontal handle is used to secure it to the chassis.
NOTE
A floppy drive and a CD-ROM drive cannot be installed in the system at the
same time.
NOTE
Disconnect power from system before replacing floppy or CD-ROM drives.
The floppy drive carrier assembly utilizes a 0.5-inch (12.7mm) slim-line 3.5-inch floppy drive. The
CD-ROM drive carrier assembly utilizes a 0.5-inch (12.7mm) slim-line CD-ROM or DVD drive.
CD-ROM Drive Carrier Assembly
The CD-ROM drive is installed in a CD-ROM drive carrier assembly before installing it into the
system. An exploded view of the CD-ROM drive carrier assembly is shown in Figure 18.
