Installing The Optical Drive

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform

troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or

telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your

warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.

NOTE: Installing an optical drive or optical blank to the optical sled does not require any tools. Follow the artwork

printed on the optical sled.

Align the optical drive sled with the optical drive slot on the front of chassis.

Slide the optical drive sled into the slot until the optical drive connector engages with the SATA connector.

Close the system.

If applicable, install the front bezel.

Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached peripherals.

Cooling Fans

Your system supports six hot-swappable cooling fans that are mounted in a memory riser and fan cage. These fans
provide cooling for the processors, expansion cards, and memory modules. Individual fans are connected to the fan tray
located below the fan cage. The fan tray is connected through a single 12x2 connector to the system board.

NOTE: In the event of a failure, excessive temperature, or a problem with a particular fan, the fan number is
referenced by the ESM, allowing you to easily identify and replace the particular fan by noting the fan numbers on
the cooling fan assembly.
