Removing and replacing a drive blank
Use the following procedures to remove a faulty drive slot filler and replace it with a new one from stock.
Drive slot fillers are passive components that regulate airflow through the control enclosure.
Notes:
• Every drive slot of an operational control enclosure must contain either a drive or a drive slot filler. A
drive slot must not be left empty for more than 10 minutes during servicing. Ensure that you have read
and understood the removal and replacement instructions, and have the replacement part unpacked
before you remove the existing drive slot filler.
• No tools are required to complete this task. Do not remove or loosen any screws.
