4. Facing the front of the rack cabinet, loosen the storage enclosure chassis flanges by twisting the top captive
thumbscrew on each side of the storage enclosure to the left.
5. Lower the pull handles then gently and steadily pull the storage enclosure out on its rails until it locks in the service
position.
6. Complete one of the following actions, based on the location of the disk drive:
a. For disk drives in the main bay: After locating the main bay cover's front or rear latch, depending on the location
of the disk drive you need to replace, push on the tab, release it by pressing the latch away from the front or rear
panel and toward the hinge, then resting the open half of the cover on the closed half.
b. For disk drives in the auxiliary bay: After locating the auxiliary bay cover's front latch, release it by pressing the
latch in to release the cover, then lift the cover away and set it aside.
7. Locate the disk drive you need to replace. The fault LED for each disk drive is a steady or blinking amber for a fault
condition. Otherwise, it is off.
CAUTION You must replace the faulty disk drive with a disk drive of the same type with a capacity equal to or
greater than the one due for replacement. Otherwise, the storage enclosure cannot use the new disk drive to
reconstruct the disk group.
8. Press the release latch toward the rear to release the handle, then pull the handle upward until it disengages the
disk drive from the baseplane.

container.

carefully into its empty slot and press downward on the disk drive until you feel it connect to its baseplane.
12. Close and press down on the disk drive handle and engage the locking mechanism.
