3. Insert the barrel lock key into the storage drive you want to remove, and turn
it 45 degrees clockwise (presuming the storage drive is locked; see

Note: Since RES-22XR3 storage drives are “hot-swappable”, it is not necessary
to electrically turn off system power in order to remove and replace a drive (ex-
cept the operating system drive). However, after a warning has been broadcast to
all users, the drive being replaced should be dismounted (eject drive) before being
removed. Consult your operating system (OS) manual for specific details.
Caution: When pulling the storage drive from the chassis, hold it at the bot-
tom to prevent it from falling and damaging the drive.
