3.8.1 Separating the RF-series Drive from the Mounting Bracket
When you install a replacement RF-series drive, you must use the mounting
bracket (74-744226-01) that is attached to the faulty RF-series drive. To
separate the mounting bracket from the faulty drive, follow these steps:
1. Note how the bracket is attached in relationship to the RF-series drive.
2. Remove the four screws (12-31734-01) that secure the grommets and the
mounting bracket to the RF-series drive.
3. Separate the mounting bracket from the RF-series drive (refer to
Figure 3–23).
