Installing or Replacing Components

Important:

Save the blank drive module. Always keep a blank drive module in any

unused drive bay to maintain proper airflow through the Xserve.

Remove the blank
drive module from the bay.

If there is a drive module already in the bay:

a

Make sure the drive currently in the bay is not being used by any application or

being shared by the Xserve.

b

Press the handle on the drive module so the handle pops out.

c

Wait for the green, upper disk status light to go off. Then grasp the handle and

pull the drive module out of the bay. If the light doesn’t go out after 20 seconds,
an application probably has a file open on the drive.
