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 Drive: For installing/removing a CD-ROM drive, you will need to gain
access to the inside of the 5013C-MT by removing the top cover of the chassis.
Proceed to the "CD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for
instructions.
Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM drive will fit into the 5013C-MT.
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 installa-
tion 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 six screws (see Figure 6-4).
