Removing a Drive Module
NOTE To preserve SCSI communications, do not loosen or remove the SCSI
cable(s) connected to the outside of the drive module. The connection to be
removed is located inside the drive module.
When the drive module has been successfully taken offline, one of the
LEDs on the back of the drive will be flashing yellow. Remove the drive
module using the steps below:
1. Verify the external SCSI cable is tightened to the connector plate.
2. Loosen the thumbscrews on each side of the connector plate, located
in the middle of the drive module (Figure 4-2). If this is your first time
loosening the thumbscrews, use a screwdriver.
3. Gently remove the connector plate, with SCSI cable(s) still connected.
CAUTION Use standard precautions for electro-static discharge (ESD) protection.
4. Grasp the ribbon cable that is plugged into the drive module. Remove
the cable by pulling the connector to the left. See Figure 4-2 for the
location of the ribbon cable and connector.
