(Disk Drive #2) that was obtained previously.
For details of how to remove the Disk Drive, see “Disk Drive Removal Procedure” on
page 39.
7 Turn on the instrument with the spare Disk Drive #2 installed.
8 Verify that the instrument software on the spare Disk Drive #2 has the same revision as
that on the original Disk Drive #1.
