CAUTION:  

Be sure replacement parts are acclimated to 

room temperature (test by touching) before installing.

CAUTION:  

Improper installation may result in damage to 

the unit or RAID array which voids the unit warranty.

CAUTION:  

To ensure adequate drive cooling, the lid of 

the enclosure must be fully closed during operation.

This document describes how to remove and replace or 
install additional disk drives in an Overland ULTAMUS 
RAID 4800 Storage Appliance or Expansion Unit.

Electrostatic Discharge Information

A discharge of static electricity can damage micro-circuitry 
or static-sensitive devices. To help prevent Electrostatic 
Discharge (ESD), observe standard ESD precautions.

ULTAMUS RAID disk drives come pre-installed in a drive 
carrier with a latch mechanism. The procedure for 
replacing a drive is similar to one for adding more drives.

1.

Pull the enclosure from the rack cabinet just enough to 
expose the drive slots.
The lid is retained in the rack as the enclosure slides 
forward (

Figure 1

).

2.

If replacing a drive, remove the old drive carrier:

a.

Release the drive carrier handle by sliding the latch 
towards the front of the enclosure and pivoting the 
handle to the upright position. (

Figure 2

)

and out of the enclosure, setting it aside.
