3.
Install the media drive into the server.
CAUTION: Always populate each media bay with either a device or a blank. Proper airflow
can only be maintained when the bays are populated. Unpopulated drive bays can lead to
improper cooling and thermal damage.
IMPORTANT: By default, the DVD drive is installed in the lower drive bay. To boot from a DVD
or CD-RW drive in the upper drive bay or to boot from a diskette drive in the lower bay,
change the boot device selector switch to FLP BOT ("Boot device selector switch" on page 16).
NOTE: If two DVD or CD-RW drives are installed in the server, the server will first attempt to
boot from the primary drive ("Boot device selector switch" on page 16). The boot device
selector switch setting determines which drive is the primary drive.
4. Power up the server (on page 24).
