Replacing a Data Drive

Replace the Drive
The drives used in the nTier300 VTL are mounted on custom drive sleds that provide
the mounting and electrical connections required to use them in a blade. Only install
drives that you purchase from Spectra Logic into your nTier300 VTL. For assistance, see
Contacting Spectra Logic
on page 5.
Caution:
Any damage to the Spectra nTier300 VTL caused by failure to
protect it from electrostatic discharge (ESD) voids the
nTier300 VTL’s warranty. To protect the nTier300 VTL drives
from damage:
Wear an anti-static wristband, properly grounded, throughout
the procedure. If a wristband is not available, touch a known
grounded surface, such as the unpainted metal chassis. An
anti-static wristband is included with the accessories.
Leave the drive in its anti-static bag until you are ready to
install it.
Do not place the un-bagged drive on any metal surfaces.
Remove the Front Cover
The front cover secures the drives to prevent unauthorized removal. If the front cover
is installed, follow these steps to remove the cover and access the drives.
1.
If the front bezel is installed, insert a key into the lock on each side of the front
cover. Turn both keys until they are in the vertical position to unlock the cover (see
Figure 4-2).
2.
Carefully pull the cover straight out from the chassis to remove it.
