Re: How to install an optical drive in a 810?

I couldn't find the 810 but I suspect, these manuals
will get you by...

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/v5r1hwpdf/pdf/model820.htm

I would NEVER install any hardware while the system is powered up,
with the exception of concurrent swaps on DASD which are designed
to be done "hot".

The manuals will be clear on that...

All,

Got a new (refurbished) 4530 DVD-RAM drive to install in our 810.  Which 
currently has a single DVD-ROM drive.  Actually, there's also an attached 
expansion tower with a second DVD-ROM and disks for our development partition. 
I'll be looking in the Info Center for instructions, but I thought I'd post a 
request out here too.

Anybody know what I need to do to install this baby?  Do I need to shutdown the 
box, or can I install it hot?  Can I leave the DVD-ROM or does the DVD-RAM need 
to replace it?  Any additional instructions?
