If you are moving the DS460C shelf to a different part of the data center or transporting it to a different
location, see the following section,
Move or transport DS460C shelves.
Move or transport DS460C shelves
If you move a DS460C shelf to a different part of the data center or transport the shelf to
a different location, you need to remove the drives from the drive drawers to avoid
possible damage to the drive drawers and drives.
• If when you installed DS460C shelves as part of your new system installation or shelf hot-add, you saved
the drive packaging materials, use these to repackage the drives before moving them.
If you did not save the packaging materials, you should place drives on cushioned surfaces or use
alternate cushioned packaging. Never stack drives on top of each other.
• Before handling drives, wear an ESD wrist strap grounded to an unpainted surface on your storage
enclosure chassis.
If a wrist strap is unavailable, touch an unpainted surface on your storage enclosure chassis before
handling a drive.
• You should take steps to handle drives carefully:
◦ Always use two hands when removing, installing, or carrying a drive to support its weight.
Do not place hands on the drive boards exposed on the underside of the drive carrier.
◦ Be careful not to bump drives against other surfaces.
◦ Drives should be kept away from magnetic devices.
Magnetic fields can destroy all data on a drive and cause irreparable damage to the
drive circuitry.
