							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 
Removing the side access panel on page 75).
3.Remove the expansion card support and any card cables that might interfere with slot load
assembly removal.
4.Remove the airflow guide (see 
Removing the airflow guide on page 76).
5.Disconnect the slot load optical disk drive data cable from the system board connector as shown
in the following figure.
Figure 5-29  Disconnecting the data cable from the system board
6.Disconnect the chassis power cable from the slot load optical drive power connector as shown in
the following figure.

							7.If a hard disk drive is installed, disconnect its power and data cables.
8.Lift and hold the drive release latch at the green touch point 
, and then slide the slot load assembly
out of the chassis 
2 as shown in the following figure.
TIP:Push on the slot load assembly from the inside of the chassis.

							10.Separate the slot load drive latches , tilt the slot load optical disk drive 2, and lift it from the carrier
 as shown in the following figure.

							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 
2.

4.Connect the power/data cable to the optical disk drive.
TIP:Place excess cabling in the slot load optical bay.

							5.Insert the slot load assembly into the chassis optical cage until it reaches the release latch.
Pull the latch 
 and slide the slot load assembly into the chassis, past the latch.
Release the latch and then slide the assembly further into the chassis until it snaps into place 
2
as shown in the following figure.
NOTE:Install the slot load optical bay with the slot load drive at the top.

6.Connect the chassis power cable to the optical disk drive power cable as shown in the following
figure.

							7.Connect the optical disk drive data cable to the system board connector as shown in the following
figure.
TIP:Route the data cable along the system board.

NOTE:See Installing a hard disk drive in the slot load optical bay on page 115 if you are installing
a hard disk drive in the slot load optical bay.
8.Reassemble the workstation, and then replace the side access cover.

							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. Installation in the optical drive bay requires an
optional adapter kit.
The hard drives blind-mate (direct-connect) to chassis mounted connectors, so manual cable
connections may be avoided.

							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 following manner:
●SATA hard drive cables are plugged into SATA data port connectors on the system board, starting
at SATA data port connector zero.
●SAS hard drive cables are plugged into SAS data port connectors on the system board, starting at
SAS data port connector zero.
●If the last (highest drive bay number) hard drive plugged in is SAS, cables from empty hard drive
bays are plugged into SAS data port connectors on the system board.
●If the last (highest drive bay number) hard drive plugged in is SATA, cables from empty hard drive
bays are plugged into SATA data port connectors on the system board.
You may need to reconfigure data cables if you install additional or replacement hard disk drives that
are different than the previously installed drives. (See 
Component locations on page 70 or the Side
access panel service label to locate hard drive bays and data cable connectors.)

							Installing a hard disk drive
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.Select the proper drive bay (SATA or SAS) in which to install the drive. Use the hard disk drive
installation order shown in the following figure.
Figure 5-41  Selecting a drive bay
4.If there is a drive carrier in the drive slot, 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.
