To properly install a 3.5-inch drive in bay 2, use the 3.5-inch conversion kit for a 5.25-inch bay that is already installed in bay
2. If you are installing a 5.25-inch drive in bay 2, you must first remove the conversion kit.
5
Removable media include CD-ROMs, optical discs, diskettes, and tapes. However, the server only supports one diskette
drive (standard in bay 4).
6
In some models, the CD-ROM drive might be set as the default startup (or boot) drive. However, if a hard disk drive is
preinstalled, you can change the startup sequence, and specify the hard disk drive as the startup drive. See “Start Options”
on page 31 for information about changing the startup sequence.
7
Drives that are higher than 41.3 mm (1.6 in.) cannot be installed.
8
One slim-high drive has a height of 25.4. mm (1.0 in.). One half-high drive has a height of 41.3 mm (1.6 in.). Therefore, you
can install two slim-high drives or one half-high drive between bays 5 and 6.
