Removing a drive drawer
After removing the right and left cable chains, you can remove the drive drawer from the
drive shelf. Removing a drive drawer entails sliding the drawer part of the way out,
recording the locations of the drives, removing the drives, and removing the drive drawer.
Before you begin
• You have removed the right and left cable chains for the drive drawer.
• You have replaced the right and left fan modules.
• You have obtained a permanent marker to note the exact location of each drive as you remove the drive
from the drawer.
Steps
1. Remove the bezel from the front of the drive shelf.
2. Unlatch the drive drawer by pulling out on both levers.
3. Using the extended levers, carefully pull the drive drawer out until it stops. Do not completely remove the
drive drawer from the drive shelf.
4. If logical unit numbers (LUNs) have already been created and assigned, use a permanent marker to note
the exact location of each drive. For example, using the following drawing as a reference, write the
appropriate slot number on the top of each drive.
