DL360 G3/G4p CDROM Drive hot swappable?

[Mark Goedhart]

I just received a few new DL360 G4p machines and found out there are no CDROM drives in them. Is it possible to take a cdrom drive out of a DL360 G3 while it is online? Then I will be able to use that in the new G4p's ?

Hi Mark

It is not advisable to do so. But it is surprising that you have received subject servers without CD-ROMs. CD-ROM is default option on these servers. Please check with HP sales vender.
