Remove the Drive
Caution:
When removing a drive while the system is powered-on, slide
the drive sled out of the chassis approximately 1 inch, just
enough to disengage the drive sled’s interface connector from
the chassis. Leave the sled in that position for approximately
20 seconds before completely removing it from the system. This
delay gives the drive’s platters time to stop spinning, which
avoids potential damage.
Use the following steps if you need to remove a drive.
1.
Slide the sled latch to the right to release it (Figure 4-3).
2.
Open the drive sled handle by rotating it outward and toward the left to disengage
the drive sled from the chassis (Figure 4-4).
3.
While supporting the drive sled, first slide it out of the chassis about 1 inch and
leave it in that position for approximately 20 seconds. Then, slide the sled
completely out of the chassis.
4.
Place the drive on an anti-static mat so that the screws securing it to the sled are
accessible.
