Replacing an optical drive - Lenovo Storage DX8200

Use this information to install an optical drive.

The following notes describe the type of drives that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install a drive. For a list of supported drives, see the Lenovo ServerProven website.

You can go to Front view to see the locations of an optical drive on the server.
Locate the documentation that comes with the drive and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter.
Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified in the documentation that comes with the drive.
The server supports one ultra-slim SATA optical drive.

Note: The optical drive is available only on some models.

To install an optional optical drive, complete the following steps:

Read the safety information that begins on Safety and Installation guidelines.
Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
Note: When you disconnect the power source from the server, you lose the ability to view the LEDs because the LEDs are not lit when the power source is removed. Before you disconnect the power source, make a note of which LEDs are lit, including the LEDs that are lit on the operation information panel, and LEDs inside the server on the system board.
Remove the top cover (see Removing the top cover).
Remove the optical drive filler panel if it is installed. Locate the blue release tab on the rear of the optical drive filler panel; then, while you press the tab, push the optical drive filler panel out of the drive bay.
Remove the retention clip from the side of the optical drive filler panel. Save the optical drive filler panel for future use.
Note: If you are installing an optical drive that contains a laser, observe the following safety precautions.

Statement 3

CAUTION:
When laser products (such as CD-ROMs, optical drives, fiber optic devices, or transmitters) are installed, note the following:
- Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product could result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the device.
- Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
DANGER
Some laser products contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B laser diode. Note the following.
Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view directly with optical instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.
Touch the static-protective package that contains the new optical drive to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the optical drive from the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
Follow the instructions that come with the drive to set any jumpers or switches.
Attach the drive retention clip that you removed from the optical drive filler panel to the side of the new optical drive.
