Preparing and Activating Slots
Some enclosures let you prepare slots for insertion or removal of a
disk drive. The Prepare Slots function performs the enclosure-
specific operations necessary to prepare the slot for removal or
insertion of a device. For example, Prepare Slots may turn off power
to the slot. Refer to your enclosure’s documentation for more
information.

In the System Browser window, select the enclosure that has
the slot you want to prepare.

If the drive in the slot is part of an array, Storage Manager Pro
tells you that the array may become unusable and confirms
that you want to prepare the slot.

The Activate Slots function performs the enclosure-specific
operations necessary to make the device in the specified slot
