the operation and performance of the system are not affected.

AUTION
: Drive spin down—Damage can occur to a drive if it is removed while still
spinning. 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 ensure that the drive has stopped prior to removal.
To remove a module:
1. Slide the latch backward to release handle
(Figure 91)
.
2. Lift handle and pull module up, just enough to disconnect the module from the backplane.
3. Wait for 30 seconds for the drive to completely spin down.
4. Pull the module gently out of the drive bay.
To insert a module:
1. Slide the latch backward to release handle.
2. Insert module into drive bay. Note orientation of module.
3. Cam the drive module home. The camming foot on the base of the module will engage into the
slot in the enclosure.
4. When the module is fully inserted, close the handle. You should hear a click as the latch engages
and holds the handle closed.
5. Close the enclosure covers.
