DVD Compatible with PowerEdge 2650

I need a DVD for my PowerEdge 2650 Server. Which drives are compatible?

The system uses a notebook-style, slimline EIDE optical drive - not a standard 3.5" desktop drive.

I am not by the server right now. Does the motherboard have standard connections for IDE cables? You can't just take a standard IDE Dvd drive and insert to the bay right?

So will any Dell notebook drives fit or do I need an adapter of some sort? Currently the bay is occupied by CD/Floppy

Just replace the CD with a standard, slimline notebook type DVD drive.

For example,
