The optical drive bay supports the installation of a 9.5-mm CD-ROM or CD/DVD combo drive. Go to the HP
website at http://www.hp.com/
and refer to the options list for this server model for a list of supported optical
drives.
To install a CD-ROM or CD/DVD combo drive:
1. Perform the pre-installation procedures described on page 11.
2. Remove the optical drive bay bezel from the chassis:
a. Push down on the two bezel tabs above the optical drive bay on the non-removable section of the
chassis top cover.
b. Remove the bezel from the optical drive bay.
Store the bezel for reassembly later.
CAUTION: Do not discard the bezel. If the optical drive is removed in the future, this bezel must be
reinstalled in the chassis for the proper cooling of the system.
