Replacing A Disk Drive - Fujitsu IRF-1S series User Manual

Replacing a Disk Drive

WARNING: Drives and printed circuit board components are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. To prevent operating failure or damage,
observe the following: Establish a ground for yourself by using the
wrist grounding strap, or by touching the metal chassis prior to
handling or installing the drives or printed circuit board components.
NOTE: There is no need to power off the enclosure or the host computer
system. The drives are hot-swappable. Be careful of the "P-factor" effect
when removing a disk drive, which is the twisting of the drive in your
hand as a result of the spinning disk. Allow the drive to completely spin
down before removing it. Do this by pulling the drive slightly from its
locked position and allowing it to spin down, then remove the drive.
1 Identify the failed disk drive using the Drive Status LED. Refer to
"Troubleshooting" on page 127 and "Drive LEDs" on page 110.
2
Remove the front bezel.
3 Grasp the drive carrier handle and pull the disk drive from the enclosure.
