Removal and replacement of the optical
disk drive is described here.
6.7.1 Removal
1. Ensure the TVC-500 controller is
powered down. Refer to Section 6.2
Powering Down the Controller.
2. Remove the side access panel (6.3.1) if
not already removed.
3. Remove the airflow guide (6.4.1) if not
already removed.
4. Remove the expansion card support
(6.5.1) if not already removed.
5. Disconnect the power (1 in Figure 6-

from the drive.
6. Lift the drive release latch at the green
touch point (1 in Figure 6-11) and
gently slide the drive out of the chassis
(2 in Figure 6-11).
6.7.2 Replacement
1. Lift and hold the drive release latch at
the green touch point (1 in Figure 6-11)
while sliding the optical disk into the
bay. When the front of the drive is near
its final position, release the latch, but
continue to slide the drive inward until
the latch closes and engages the drive.
NOTE: An optical drive longer than 175
mm (but less than 206 mm) must be
installed in the middle or bottom bay.
NOTE: During the installation, the
adjacent drive or filler may move slightly.
It may be necessary to slide and align both
devices to allow the release latch to close and engage both devices.
2. Re-connect the power and data cables to the drive as shown in Figure 6-10.
