Installing the Optical Drive Tray
1. Align the optical drive tray with its opening in the front panel.
The optical drive opening is located directly below the SAS daughter card bay.
2. Slide in the drive tray until the tray snaps into place. See Figure3-16.
3. Connect the optical-drive cable from the back of the drive. See Figure3-16.
4. Replace the SAS controller daughter card.See Replacing or Installing a SAS RAID Controller Daughter Card.
5. Close the system. See Opening and Closing the System.
6. Replace the bezel. See Removing and Replacing the Front Bezel.
7. Reconnect your system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn on the system.
Hard Drives
This subsection describes how to install and configure SAS hard drives in the system's internal hard-drive bays. Your system features two 3.5-inch (SAS)
internal hard-drive bays. All drives connect to the system board through one of two optional backplane boards.
Before You Begin
Hard drives are supplied in special hot-pluggable drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive bays.
You may need to use different programs than those provided with the operating system to partition and format SAS hard drives.
When you format a high-capacity hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Long format times for these drives are normal. A 9-GB hard
drive, for example, can take up to 2.5 hours to format.
Removing a Drive Blank
NOTICE: Before you attempt to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the optional SAS RAID daughter card to
ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support hot-pluggable drive removal and insertion.
NOTICE: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive blanks installed. If you remove a hard-drive carrier from the
system and do not reinstall it, you must replace the carrier with a drive blank.
