Here, I'll tell you how!
Take your ps3 and place it on a chair. Then find a big rope and tie the ps3 tightly on that chair. Then take a table lamp and enforce it to answer to your question. Just like in the movies! It will answer immediately!
Seriously now…
There's no way you can make a non-ps2 compatible ps3 to play ps2 disks. The emulator on the American PSN works only with downloaded titles.
Back in 2008 Sony made a patent on a PS2 emulator that will allow non-ps2 compatible PS3s to play ps2 disks. They haven't released it yet and here's why:
Well, at first they said that producing a fully ps2 compatible ps3, cost too much… but hearing it from a company that sold a console for 600$ is kinda ironic. I'll tell you what I think.
Up to 2008 there was not a single descent title for the PS3. So, they dropped Ps2 BC on the Ps3 because they wanted to sell more ps2 units in order to make some profit simply because they were loosing 200$ per each Ps3 unit they were selling up 'till Ps3 Slim got released.
I've heard they made a patent on a ps2 emulator for the ps3 and it's true. So that pretty much confirms my initial thought. I'm sure you'll hear a new major update "that will bring ps2 support" but this will happen when they brake even with ps3. Which is within the next two years.
There are still people who buy those old titles btw.

Hmm… Maybe I'll be right after all… Everything seems to be on time so far…
The 40GB PS3 version is not backwards compatibile and there is absolutely nothing you can do to make it.
You can't it does not have an PS2 hardware in it, you can't make it work as its impossible.
The early models had PS2 hardware inbuilt so you could, the later models don't have it
You can't do it. And anyone refering to that PS2 system data from the PlayStation Store, that is not a PS2 emulator. That is for something completely different.
