Caution: Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions while replacing the drive
carriers. Avoid contact with the backplane components and module connectors.
To remove and replace a drive carrier module from the SGI TP900 enclosure, follow these
steps:
Caution: Do not remove a drive carrier unless a replacement or a dummy carrier can be
immediately added. The system must not be run without all modules in place. Any
unused drive bays must be fitted with a dummy carrier module.
1. Spin down the drive prior to removal, using the operating system.
Caution: Damage can occur to a drive if it is removed while still spinning. If you
cannot use the operating system to spin down the drives prior to removal, perform
all steps of the following procedure to ensure that the drive has stopped prior to
removal.
Note: The anti-tamper lock must be off. If the drive module is locked, insert the Torx
screwdriver (included with the disk drive) into the socket in the lower part of the
handle trim. Then turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise until the indicator visible in
the center aperture of the handle shows black. See Figure 12-13.
