Installing Non-Hot Swap Drives
The HP Server supports a slimline IDE diskette drive for 1.44 MB and 120 MB media and a DVD
drive. Both drives are part of the standard configuration and mount directly above the power bays on
the front of the chassis. The drives are mounted on removable trays that facilitate system assembly
and service. The server must be powered down to install these drives.
Installing the Floppy Disk Drive
The floppy disk drive is housed in a two-piece drive carrier assembly that rests on the chassis surface.
The assembly is accessible when the top cover is removed. The following procedures describe how to
remove and install the drive.
Removing the Floppy Diskette Drive
To remove the floppy diskette drive, complete the following procedure:
1. Observe all safety and ESD precautions whenever you remove the cover from the HP Server.
WARNING Before removing the top cover, always disconnect the power cord and unplug the
Ethernet cables. Disconnect the power cord to avoid exposure to high energy
levels that may cause burns when parts are short-circuited by metal objects such
as tools or jewelry.
The power switch does NOT turn off the standby power. Disconnect the power
cord from the HP Server before handling components.
2. Remove the top cover as described in “Removing and Replacing the HP Server’s Main Cover”
in Chapter 2.
