Removing the cable chains
Left and right cable chains for each drive drawer in the DS460C drive shelf allow the drawers to slide
in and out. Before you can remove a drive drawer, you must remove both cable chains.
Before you begin
• You have stopped host I/O activity and powered off the shelf.
• You have obtained the following items:
◦ Antistatic protection
Attention: Possible hardware damage – To prevent electrostatic discharge damage to the
shelf, use proper antistatic protection when handling shelf components.
◦ Flashlight
About this task

corresponding vertical and horizontal brackets inside the enclosure, as follows:

• The left and right horizontal brackets connect the cable chain to the individual drawer.
Note: For a helpful overview of this procedure, watch the following video, which shows how to
