10.2 REPLACING / INSTALLING DISK DRIVES
This section covers the replacement or installation of the disk drive carrier assembly for
the JETSTOR SAS 760J/JD.
If the drives are new and not installed into carriers, please refer to Appendix C of this
manual prior to installing the drives into the JETSTOR SAS 760J/JD enclosure. Drive
carriers are required for each disk drive. If interposer cards will be used, this is also the
time to install them in the drive/carrier assembly.

installing in the JETSTOR SAS 760J/JD. It is recommended that
drives are allowed at least two hours to acclimate to room temperature
before using them.
Caution: When handling disk drives, be sure to take static precautions
(wrist straps, grounded ESD mat, etc.).
