Installing the Replacement Optical Drive
Note: Before installing the replacement optical drive, you must transfer the side brackets
and the screws from the original drive to the replacement drive.
1. Remove the mounting screw for the left bracket and transfer the bracket to the
replacement drive, using the same screw to secure it. (Figure 4)
2. Remove the three mounting screws for the right bracket and transfer the bracket to the
replacement drive, again using the same screws to secure it.

3. Slide the replacement drive into the server, making sure the tabs on the bottom edges
of the drive brackets engage with the slots in the drive bay.
4. Rotate the optical drive clip counterclockwise until it snaps into place against the end
of the drive.
5. Reconnect the optical drive cable to the drive.
