Replacing a drive carrier module
Important: Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling COS small disk enclosure modules
and components. Avoid contact with midplane components and module connectors, etc.
Removing a 3.5-inch Drive Carrier Module
Important: Damage can occur to a drive if it is removed while it still spins. If possible use the operating
system to spin down the drives prior to removal. If this is not possible we recommend that you perform all
steps of the following procedure to make sure that the drive has stopped prior to removal.
1. If the anti-tamper lock has been activated, de-activate it by locating the key into its socket and
rotating it counter-clockwise until the indicator is no longer visible in the aperture beside the key.
2. Press the latch in the handle towards the handle hinge as shown in the figure below to release the
carrier handle.
