1: Storage System Features

Anti-tamper Locks

Anti-tamper locks are fitted in the drive carrier handles and are accessed through the
small cutout in the latch section of the handle. These are provided to disable the normal
“pinch” latch action of the carrier handle. See “Engaging the Anti-tamper Locks” on
page 28 for instructions on how to engage or disengage the anti-tamper lock. Figure 1-7
shows the location of the anti-tamper locks.

Note:

The drives will operate with the locks either engaged or disengaged.
