The following tips describe the type of optical drives
that the server supports and other information that you must consider
when you install an optical drive. For a list of supported optical
drives, go to: the Lenovo ServerProven website
Locate the documentation that comes with the optical drive and
follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this
topic.
Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment specified
in the documentation that comes with the optical drive.
The server supports one ultra-slim SATA optical drive.
To install the optical drive, do the following:
Turn off the server. Then, disconnect all external cables
and remove all peripheral devices.
Connect the optical drive cable. Make sure that the cable
is not pinched and does not cover any connectors or obstruct any components
on the system board.
Align the cable connector with the connector bracket
on the chassis, insert the cable connector into the bracket, and slide
it to the left until it is firmly seated.
Connect the other end of the cable to the system board.

Attach the drive retention clip that
you removed from the optical drive filler to the side of the new optical
