Dell EMC PowerEdge T340 Installation and Service Manual
Removing the optical drive
Prerequisites
- Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
- Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system.
- Remove the front bezel.
Steps
- Disconnect the power and data cable connectors from the connectors on the optical drive.NOTE Observe the routing of the power and data cable inside the chassis as you remove them from the system board and the drive. You must route these cables properly when you replace them to prevent them from being pinched or crimped.
- To remove the drive, slide the release latch downwards to release the drive.
- Slide the drive out of the drive bay.
- If you are not immediately replacing the tape drive, install the blank.NOTE Blanks must be installed on empty optical drive or tape drive slots to maintain FCC certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system. Perform the same steps to install blanks.
