Optical disc drive

The server has a default slim-type 12.7 mm SATA optical disc drive. You can choose to replace this
default ODD with another model. The following SATA ODD models are supported:

DVD drive

DVD-RW drive

Guidelines for installing an optical disc drive

Install only ODD models specified for your ProLiant server. Installing unsupported ODDs may

damage the system by consuming power and generating heat in excess of the server’s operating

tolerance. This condition may result in a loss of system and/or data integrity.

The ODD carrier has one pre-installed ODD mounting screw located beneath it.

If you removed the default ODD without plans of replacing it, you must perform the following

procedure to maintain proper system cooling:

a.

Reinstall the mounting screws you removed from the ODD module to the ODD carrier.

b.

Reinstall the carrier in the chassis.

c.

Cover the ODD bay with the ODD bay bezel (purchased separately).

You will need a flat-blade M2.5 screwdriver to remove the default ODD module from its carrier.
