6.3 Drive Assembly Replacement Procedure
a.
Ensure the two swing arms are in the extended position before installing the ESM.
b.
Insert the ESM into the empty slot and push it forward until it will not proceed further.
c.
Use one hand to apply light, even pressure on the ESM, and use the other hand to fold the
swing arms back in toward the ESM until they lock in place.
Step 4 :
Install the HD Mini-SAS cables into the rear of the ESM.
a.
Read the label on each cable to ensure it is being installed in the correct port.
b.
To insert the connector into the port, orient the cable so that the blue release tab is
facing the ground and insert the connector into the port until it locks.
c.
Complete these steps for each cable until all are installed.
d.
When there is power running to the platform, the activity LED at the back of the ESM will
turn on and remain solid if there is no IO to the drives. This will ensure that it is installed
correctly.
