Step 1.
Gently remove the bezel from the front of the system.
Step 2.
Remove the drives:
a.
Press the release button at the top of the carrier face below the LEDs.
b.
Pull the cam handle to its fully open position to unseat the drive from the midplane, and then
gently slide the drive out of the chassis.
The drive should disengage from the chassis, allowing it to slide free of the chassis.
Attention: When removing a drive, always use two hands to support its weight.
Attention: Drives are fragile. Handle them as little as possible to prevent damage to them.
Step 3.
Align the drive from the old chassis with the same bay opening in the new chassis.
Step 4.
Gently push the drive into the chassis as far as it will go.
The cam handle engages and begins to rotate upward.
Step 5.
Firmly push the drive the rest of the way into the chassis, and then lock the cam handle by pushing
it up and against the drive holder.
Be sure to close the cam handle slowly so that it aligns correctly with the front of the drive carrier. It
will click when it is secure.
Step 6.
Repeat the process for the remaining drives in the system.

If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.
Step 4.
Using two people, install the replacement chassis into the equipment rack or system cabinet by
guiding the chassis onto the rack rails in a system cabinet or equipment rack.
Step 5.
Slide the chassis all the way into the equipment rack or system cabinet.
Step 6.
Secure the front of the chassis to the equipment rack or system cabinet, using the screws you
removed from the old chassis.
Step 7.
If you have not already done so, install the bezel.
Installing the controller modules
After you install the controller modules into the new chassis, you need to boot it to a state where you can run
the diagnostic test.
