7. Installing and Removing Drives and Front Module
Parts
This chapter provides information on installing and removing drives and parts on the
front of the OCTANE workstation, behind the bezel. Installing a hard drive is an easy
task requiring no tools or screws. It is unlikely that you will need to replace the light
module, frontplane, system fan, or external plastics. Replacing the system fans,
frontplane, and external plastics are complicated and lengthy tasks, and are best
performed by an experienced user.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
• “Installing and Removing Internal Drives” on page 217
• “Replacing the Light Module” on page 235
• “Removing and Installing the Frontplane Module and System Identification
Module” on page 237
