Notes:
• The 3592 drive canisters are hot-pluggable. To minimize the impact on the customer's operation, one of
the drive canisters can be unplugged and removed while power is still supplied to the remaining drive in
the enclosure.
• Avoid touching the bezel while this procedure is completed. Contaminants from your fingers can affect
performance of the library accessor.
• Before you order a drive FRU, determine the model number from the label on the failing drive and not
from the service panel.
