Pull the disk unit partially out of the tower. The light between the two DASD enclosures will go off
and remain off as soon as the device is no longer making contact with the backplane.
Attention: If you remove the device when the light is not flashing, data may be lost, the disk unit
may be damaged, or the backplane may be damaged.
