3. Unpack the new disk drive, and set it on a level surface near the disk shelf.
Save all packaging materials for use when returning the failed disk drive.
NetApp requires that all returned disk drives be in a ESD-rated bag.
4. Physically identify the failed disk drive from the system console warning message and the illuminated
attention (amber) LED on the disk drive.
The activity (green) LED on a failed disk drive can be illuminated (solid), which indicates the

release the disk drive from the mid plane.
When you press the release button, the cam handle on the disk drive springs open partially.
Disk drives in a DS212C disk shelf are arranged horizontally with the release button located
