Removing the Drive

ARX®1000 Hardware Installation Guide

A - 3

Removing the Drive

This is a hot-swap procedure, requiring no power-down of the switch and no
loss of service.

WARNING

Static electricity can damage switch components. Be sure to wear antistatic
wrist straps before handling disk drives.

Carefully remove the front bezel to expose the disk drives. The two
replaceable drives are on the right side of the front panel, one over the other:

Each drive is held in place with two captive screws.

To remove a disk drive, use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen both
captive screws.

Slide out the disk drive and sled from its slot in the chassis.

The chassis continues to run, in degraded state, with only one disk missing
from the RAID.
