you of an impending drive failure or an actual drive failure. When a drive has failed, its amber

About this procedure
Use this procedure to replace a drive in the following controller units or expansion units:
60-bay controller unit
60-bay expansion unit
The 60-bay controller unit and the 60-bay expansion unit consist of 5 drive drawers that each
contain 12 drive slots. Drive drawer 1 is at the top, and drive drawer 5 is at the bottom. The
drives are numbered from 0 to 11 in each drive drawer.
Rules for handling drives
The drives are fragile. Improper drive handling is a leading cause of drive failure. Follow these
rules to avoid damaging the drives in your unit:
