Before you begin
• Wear a wrist strap connected to the storage system to prevent part
failures caused by static electricity. Do not remove the wrist strap until you
finish the procedure.
• Confirm that the storage system power is turned on.
• The front bezel is removed.
Procedure
1. Pull up the stopper of the drive handle toward you to release the lock.
2. Open the handle toward you, and then gently remove the drive to be
replaced.
Handle the drive with care.
3. Wait at least 30 seconds. Then place the new drive into the guide rail and
slide it gently in the direction of the arrow.
4. Push the lower part of the drive until it reaches the position where the
hook on the handle engages with the square hole on the frame.
5. Raise the stopper, which is tilted toward you, and then press the stopper
to disengage the lock.
If the handle is raised so the hook of the handle cannot enter into each
hole, the drive cannot be installed properly because it is blocked by the
frame of the storage system.
