there is not much use of an internal USB DVD drive - once for installing. So i assume IBM decided the user an use any external DVD drive and save the space for the big backplanes.

Betreff: Re: New Power 9
An RDX drive and an LTO drive both use SAS and the same type of bay. You just really don’t have a lot of space left anymore in a 2U case, so I pretty much second Holger.
You could fit a slimline DVD in one of those, but that might not be
worth the effort. USB or network based installations are so much
easier/faster so you might be better off using that real estate for
NVMe storage or increased airflow
