Slot load optical disk drive (optional)
A slot load optical disk drive can be added to the workstation in place of the standard optical disk drive
assemblies. The slot load optical bay fits into the chassis and replaces all the standard optical bays.
This section describes how to remove and install a slot load optical disk drive.
Removing the slot load optical disk drive
1.Disconnect power from the workstation (see Predisassembly procedures on page 73).
2.Remove the side access panel (see

Installing the slot load optical disk drive
1.With power off and the side access panel open, remove the expansion card support and any card
cables that might interfere with slot load assembly installation.
2.Remove the airflow guide (see 
Removing the airflow guide on page 76).
3.Insert the optical disk drive in the carrier at an angle 
.
Rotate the drive vertical, and then push it down until it snaps into place

Hard disk drive
This workstation accommodates both SAS and SATA hard drives.
Both 3.5 in. standard hard disk drives or 2.5 in. small form factor (SFF) hard disk drives may be installed
in the workstation.
NOTE:A 2.5 in. hard drive must be mounted in a 3.5 in. adapter before it can be installed in the chassis
blind-mate carrier.
Hard disk drives can be installed in the hard drive bay and the optical drive bay. Drives should be installed
in the hard drive bay first, then in the optical drive bay....

Removing a hard disk drive from the hard drive bay
1.Disconnect power from the workstation (see Predisassembly procedures on page 73).
2.Remove the side access panel (see 
Removing the side access panel on page 75).
3.Press the hard drive carrier release latch at the green touch point and rotate the handle outward
. Pull the drive carrier out of the hard drive bay as shown in the following figure 2.

Installing a hard disk drive in the hard drive bay
This section describes how to install a hard drive in the hard drive bay.
Hard disk drive cable configuration
The hard drive bays are labeled 0 (top bay), 1, 2, and 3. (See 
Component locations on page 70 or the
Side access panel service label to locate the hard drive bays.)
The hard drive bays provide four data cables. They are labeled HDD BAY 0, HDD BAY 1, HDD BAY
2, and HDD BAY 3.
The hard drive bay data cables are connected from the factory in the...

Installing a hard disk drive
1.Disconnect power from the workstation (see 
Predisassembly procedures on page 73).
2.Remove the side access panel (see
