the disk to stop spinning. Pull the latch and slowly pull the
module from its slot, as shown in Figure 3-7. Place it on a padded,
static-free surface.

Installing a Disk or Filler Module
Always replace a disk drive with another of the same model; do not mix Fibre
Channel and ATA components in the same enclosure. Refer to Figure 1-7 on
page 1-8 for a visual comparison of FC and ATA disk carriers.
1. Make sure an ESD wristband is attached to your wrist and the
enclosure (see the precautions on Page 3-7).
2. Align the module with the guides in the slot.
3. Gently push the module completely into the slot, and then engage
the latch. See Figure 3-8.
