Figure 2-31: Removing the SATA hot-plug hard drive
CAUTION: You must remove the drive slowly about an inch to disconnect from the back
plane, and wait 30 seconds for the drive to stop spinning to ensure the drive heads are parked
prior to removal. Be sure you follow these instructions carefully to prevent handling damage,
such as head slaps or head actuator unlocking.
4.
Use your hand to support the bottom of the hard drive carrier while you slowly pull the
carrier straight out. Do not allow the carrier to fall.
