Disk Drives
All models use one-inch-high, 3.5-inch SCSI disk drives. For
information on DuraStor-compatible disk drives, go to the Adaptec
Web site at

.
Attaching a Disk Drive to a Drive Carrier
1
Place the disk drive component-side down on a flat surface,
with the SCSI connector facing away from you.
2
Slide the drive carrier over the disk drive so that the handle of
the drive carrier curves down and is facing you. See
.
3
Attach the drive carrier to the disk drive using six screws, three
on each side of the drive carrier.
Replacing a Disk Drive
Warning:
Drives and printed circuit board components are
sensitive to electrostatic discharge. To prevent damage,
establish a ground for yourself by using the wrist grounding
strap, or by touching the metal chassis prior to handling or
installing the disk drives or printed circuit board components.
Note:
There is no need to power
OFF
the storage subsystem or
the host computer system. The disk drives are hot-swappable.
Be careful of the “P-factor” effect when removing a disk
drive, which is the twisting of the drive in your hand as a
result of the spinning disk. Allow the drive to completely spin
down before removing it. Do this by pulling the drive slightly
from its locked position and allowing it to spin down, then
remove the drive.
To replace a disk drive:
1
Remove the front bezel. See
for instructions.
2
Identify the failed disk drive using the drive status LED. Refer
