Caution: Powering down the system incorrectly or removing the
wrong drive during a drive failure can result in potential
data loss. Do not power down the system to replace a hard
drive. Make sure you remove the failed drive and not a
good drive.

Hard Drive
Before beginning the replacement procedure, make sure that you have
the required replacement kit. The appropriate replacement drive will be
provided by Quantum Customer Support (see

from another system (not even another DXi6900 G1
system).
You will need the following items to perform this procedure:
• Replacement hard drive kit provided by Quantum Customer
Support.
