Removing the Blade
The following procedure describes how to remove the blade from a system. It assumes that the
system is powered. If the system is powered down, you can disregard the blue LED and skip the
respective step. In that case it is a purely mechanical procedure.
1. Unlatch the lower handle from the face plate by squeezing the lever and the latch together
and turning the handle outward. Do not rotate the handle fully outward. The blue LED
blinks indicating that the blade power-down process is ongoing.
2. Wait until the blue LED is illuminated permanently. Unfasten the screw of the faceplate,
then unlatch the upper handle and rotate both handles fully outward until the blade is
detached from the shelf.
3. Remove the face plate cables, if applicable.
4. Remove the blade from the shelf.
Data Loss
 Removing the blade with the blue LED still blinking causes data loss.
 Wait until the blue LED is steadily lit before removing the blade.
If the LED continues to blink, it is possible that the upper layer software rejects the blade
extraction request.
