3

If the storage system is in a stand-alone configuration, tap the bar to the 
left. The lock bar springs out. Swing the lock bar to the right of the drive 
bays.

NOTICE: To avoid damage, do not pull the tab handle of the 

black, removable lock bar out too far. Figure 2 shows the lock bar 

at an exaggerated angle (after it is completely out of its hole).

For a storage system with the black, removable lock bar:

a. Grasp the tab handle on the lock bar and gently pull it toward you, 

about 1/2-inch away from the unlocked keylock. 

b. Slide the left end of the lock bar to the right to remove it from its hole 

(see Figure 2).

3. Remove the hard-disk drives.

NOTICE: Handle the hard-disk drives with care. The carriers pro-

vide some protection, but the hard-disk drives can be damaged 

by rough handling. When removing the hard-disk drives from the 

storage system, place them on a padded surface. Never drop the 

hard-disk drives.

Release the hard-disk drive carrier by pressing down on the hard-disk drive 
carrier lock (see Figure 3) and swing the carrier handle down (see Figure 4).
