4. Remove the chassis lid by pulling it forward, then lifting up.

CAUTION
: Disk drives are shock sensitive. Perform all actions involving disk drives carefully
to avoid damage and data loss.
5. Remove the disk(s) from the disk box(es), gripping them by the guides on the sides of each disk.
Note
Do not remove disks from their boxes by pulling on the ejection handles.
6. Using the drive guides to help you orient the disks, carefully load the new disk drive(s) into a drive slot.
Make sure that each disk is fully seated and that the drive ejection handles are flat against each drive.
Figure 2-6: Loading a new disk drive
The drive status LED lights up green to inform you that the disk is connected and functioning properly.
CAUTION
: Be sure that you load all drives so that their connectors line up with the connectors
on the PCB and with their labels facing left. The drive holders are keyed so that inserting them
in their correct orientation is easy. Do NOT force a drive into its slot if you encounter
significant resistance.
CAUTION
: Do NOT allow disks to drop freely onto the connectors on the PCB. Doing so can
cause significant damage to the disk or to the connectors, or both.
CAUTION
: Wherever possible, always load disk drives in rows of 15 across the width of the
drive drawer, starting in the front. Leaving gaps between disk drives decreases cooling
efficiency and may result in some disk drives overheating.
7. Replace the drive bay lid.
