• If you are installing an optical drive, remove the dummy optical drive tray. The way of removing the
dummy optical drive tray is similar to the way of removing the optical drive that is described above.
Store the dummy optical drive tray in case you later remove the optical drive and need the dummy
optical drive tray to cover the place.

outside of the server. Then, take the new optical drive out of the package.
