Slimline Optical Drive Carrier The slimline optical drive carrier can be used with an optional optical drive. One slimline carrier is included with your server system; the optical drive must be purchased separately. You cannot install both an optical drive and a USB floppy drive. The slimline optical drive carrier can be inserted or removed only when system power is turned off. Drives in the optical drive carrier are NOT hot swappable. For installation instructions on installing an optical drive, see "Installing or Removing a Slimline Optical Drive or Internal USB Floppy". To use one of the drives provided by Intel, use the following order codes: • Slimline CD-ROM Drive: AXXSCD • Slimline DVD/CDR Drive: AXXDVDCDR Note: The Intel® Server System SR2500ALLX and/or the Intel® Server System SR2500ALBRP does not support all slimline optical drives. See "Server System References" for an Internet link to a list of supported hardware. Intel provides accessory kits for these drives. Advanced Management Options Intel® Remote Management Module The Intel® Remote Management Module is available to provide advanced server management features. For installation instructions on installing the Intel® Remote Management Module, see the instructions provided with the management module. Rack-Mounted Systems Your Intel® Server System SR2500ALLX and/or the Intel® Server System SR2500ALBRP can be mounted into a rack. Intel provides three options to mount this server into a rack. When installing the chassis into a rack, Intel recommends you install systems from the bottom of the rack to the top. In other words, install the first system in the rack into the bottom position of the rack, the second system in the second position from the bottom, and so on. Instructions for installing your chassis into a rack are included in the rail kit. Intel® Server System SR2500AL User's Guide 23

Intel® Server System SR2500AL User’s Guide

Slimline Optical Drive Carrier

The slimline optical drive carrier can be used with an optional optical drive. One slimline

carrier is included with your server system; the optical drive must be purchased separately.

You cannot install both an optical drive and a USB floppy drive.

The slimline optical drive carrier can be inserted or removed only when system power is

turned off. Drives in the optical drive carrier are NOT hot swappable. For installation

instructions on installing an optical drive, see

“Installing or Removing a Slimline Optical

Drive or Internal USB Floppy”

To use one of the drives provided by Intel, use the following order codes:

•

Slimline CD-ROM Drive: AXXSCD

•

Slimline DVD/CDR Drive: AXXDVDCDR

Note:

The Intel

Server System SR2500ALLX and/or the Intel

Server System SR2500ALBRP

does not support all slimline optical drives. See

“Server System References”

for an

Internet link to a list of supported hardware. Intel provides accessory kits for these drives.

Advanced Management Options

Intel® Remote Management Module

The Intel

Remote Management Module is available to provide advanced server

management features.

For installation instructions on installing the Intel

Remote Management Module, see the

instructions provided with the management module.

Rack-Mounted Systems

Your Intel

Server System SR2500ALLX and/or the Intel

Server System

SR2500ALBRP can be mounted into a rack. Intel provides three options to mount this

server into a rack. When installing the chassis into a rack, Intel recommends you install

systems from the bottom of the rack to the top. In other words, install the first system in

the rack into the bottom position of the rack, the second system in the second position

from the bottom, and so on. Instructions for installing your chassis into a rack are included

in the rail kit.
