Maximum Allowable Drive Sizes 
   3    To properly install a 3.5-inch drive in bay 1 or 2,
     use the 3.5-inch conversion kit
     for a 5.25-inch bay that is already installed in bay 2.
     If you are installing a 5.25-inch drive in bay 2,
     you must first remove the conversion kit.
   4    Removable media include CD-ROMs, optical discs, diskettes,
     and tapes. If you install removable-media drives, you must
     install them in bays 1--4 only. The server supports only one
     diskette drive (standard in bay 4).
   5    In some models, the CD-ROM drive might be set as the default
     startup (or boot) drive. However, if a hard disk drive is
     preinstalled, you can change the startup sequence, and specify
     the hard disk drive as the startup drive.
   6    Drives that are higher than 41.3 mm (1.6 in.) cannot be installed.
   7    One slim-high drive has a height of 25.4. mm (1.0 in.).
     One half-high drive has a height of 41.3 mm (1.6 in.).
     Therefore you can install two slim-high drives or one
     half-high drive between bays 5 and 6.
