Just got our X2200 M2 server, installed the extra proc (ships
seperately) and now I'm installing the DVD drive which also ships
seperately, but I have two problems....
One the hardware manual says to insert the drive until it "clicks",
which it does not. As a matter of fact, the release arms hits against
the fan units preventing the drive from sliding all the way in. I have
bent the arm to the left and to the right to get the drive to slide in
without hitting the fans, but it never clicks in and there is nothing
that looks like it would snap and hold it in.
The second thing, the IDE cable that runs to the drive will not fit
because the "notch" on the cable is on the bottom, while the notch on
the edge connector is on top. The drive shipped with a two inch cable
extender, however it is female to female and will not plug into the
female connector cable to the MB.
Everything is really tight and clean in the system and I'm impressed
with the build with the exception of this one problem.
