Disk Drive Handling Requirements
Handle the disk drives as follows:
•
Protect disk drives from electrostatic discharge. When handling a disk drive, always wear an
electrostatic wrist strap or a similar protective device.
•
Hold a disk drive only by the plastic part of the carrier. Do not pick it up by the release lever.
•
Insert a disk drive in the correct position, with the latch toward the rear of the array (where the power
supplies and control modules are). Do not force a disk drive into a slot.
