install slim DVD in ML350 Gen 10

[Allen Crist]

Just got an ML350 Gen 10.

We also got a slimline DVD drive for it but I can't see anywhere it would fit into. It's smaller than the 3.5" wide hole. Is there a bracket/adapter I need?

Hi Allen,

I hope this following information helps.

HPE 9.5 mm SATA DVD-ROM JackBlack Gen9 optical drive 726536-B21

NOTE: The HPE ML350 Gen10 slimline ODD bay kit (874577-B21) is required for this option 

HPE 9.5 mm SATA DVD-RW JackBlack G9 optical drive 726537-B21

NOTE: The HPE ML350 Gen10 slimline ODD bay kit (874577-B21) is required for this option 

HPE mobile USB non leaded system DVD RW drive 701498-B21
NOTE:
This is only supported on USB 3.0 ports

When front drive cages are fully populated (Box 1 - 3) and there is still the requirement for DVD - RW support, this external USB DVD-RW option will meet that need

Excellent, thank you!

What I would like is instructions and diagrams on how to install the DVD, specifically where to run the cable.
