4: Replacing Enclosure Components
1. Check TPSSM for instructions on drive failure recovery procedures. Follow any
instructions provided by the software before proceeding.
Caution: Removing the wrong drive can cause data loss. Ensure that you remove
only the failed drive. The drive fault indicator of the failed drive module illuminates
amber. Removing a drive module while its green activity indicator is blinking can
cause data loss and may cause the host controller to mark the drive as failed. If you
remove an active drive accidentally, wait at least 30 seconds and then reinstall it. See
TPSSM for further recovery instructions.
2. Locate the failed drive module (its fault light should be on).
3. Wearing antistatic protection, lift (open) the lever of the failed drive module.
4. Pull out the drive module (see Figure 4-1).

5. Wait at least 30 seconds for the drive to spin down. Then remove the failed drive
module from the enclosure.
6. Unpack the new drive module. Save all packing materials in case you need to return
the module.
