electricity. Do not attempt the following procedures
without wearing an antistatic wrist strap.
Removing the Hard-Disk Drive
To remove the hard-disk drive, use the following procedures:
1.
Unlock and open the door of the cabinet.
2.
Put on an antistatic wrist strap. Connect it to an unpainted portion of the cabinet.
3.
Locate the drive assembly to be removed.
4.
Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws that secure the hard-disk drive to the
cabinet.
5.
Gripping the front flange, pull the drive assembly out of the cabinet. Use one hand to support the
bottom of the drive when it clears the cabinet.
6.
Carefully place the drive assembly nearby, to be reinstalled or shipped.
.
The hard-disk-drive assemblies are sensitive to rough handling. Be careful and handle them as
gently as possible.
Installing the Hard-Disk Drive
To replace the hard-disk drive, use the following procedures:
.
The disk drive ID will automatically be selected when the drive assembly is installed. Do not
change the jumpers on the disk drive.
1.
Put on an antistatic wrist strap. Connect it to an unpainted portion of the cabinet.
2.
Remove the new disk drive from the shipping container.
3.
Verify that the part number on the label attached to the sheet-metal plate of the hard-disk-drive
assembly agrees with what was ordered.
.
For part numbers and storage hours, refer to the Hardware chapter in this volume.
4.
Hold the disk drive with your right hand, grasping the front flange with your left hand supporting the
weight of the drive. The drive should be to the right of the metal slider plate.
5.
Guide the sheet-metal plate into the card guides that are marked with the appropriate slot ID.
6.
Gently, but firmly, slide the drive assembly into the slot until the connector on the back of the
assembly is mated with the connector on the backplane. This is accomplished when the flange on the
front of the drive-assembly sheet metal reaches or very nearly reaches the sheet metal of the cabinet.
Caution!
Do not slam the drive assembly into cabinet. This
could damage the disk drive.
