Figure 37. Removing a disk drive from the system
5. If the removed drive has a bezel attached to it, you can remove the disk drive bezel. For instructions,
see "Removing a disk drive bezel from a drive or filler for the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D,
8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D" on page 94.
Important: If the disk drive bezel does not have a thumbscrew, then the bezel is not removable and
the drive is a SAS disk drive. The replacement SAS disk drive comes with a preinstalled bezel.
If you are installing a replacement drive as a replacement for the failed disk drive or solid-state drive, go
to "Replacing a disk drive or solid-state drive in the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C,
or 8205-E6D with the IBM i system or logical partition power turned on" on page 73.
If you are not installing a replacement drive, install a filler in the empty slot to ensure proper air flow for
cooling. For instructions, see "Installing a disk drive filler in the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B,
8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D" on page 93.
Removing a solid-state drive from the EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure
Complete the following steps to remove a solid-state drive from the EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure.
1. Pull off the bezel (A) that covers the slot that contains the solid-state drive.
2. On the console, select the solid-state drive that you want to remove. To view the locations of the
service indicators, go to "Solid-state drive locations and service indicators for the EDR1 PCIe storage
enclosure" on page 106.
3. Press Enter.
Important: When you press Enter, after your selected time delay, the service indicator light comes on
(solid) for 18 seconds. You then have 18 seconds to unlock and remove the drive. You can set an
appropriate time delay of 01 - 19 minutes to allow adequate time to access the disk drive or
solid-state drive.
4. When the solid-state drive identify LED turns on solid, slide the release latch (B) over gently to
unlock the drive handle. See Figure 38 on page 57.
