For static-sensitive devices, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic
components. Handle disk drives correctly to prevent damage.
CAUTION
Wear a wrist strap to prevent static discharge.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the disk drive from the antistatic
bag.
Handle a disk drive by its edges only; do not touch components on the bottom.
Note:
An appliance that has fewer than three disk drives installed must have
empty bays populated with drive tray baffles. Empty bays without baffles adversely
affect appliance cooling.

Removing a disk drive module
The four disk drive modules in the front of the Backup Exec 3600 Appliance are
labeled 0, 1, 2, 3, from left to right. If you replace more than one disk module at
a time, determine which replacement disk to place into each disk slot, or bay.
Label replacement disk modules with the correct slot. Label the disk modules that
you remove from the appliance so that you know which bay they occupied.
