Figure 4-8. Externally Accessible Drives Removal

All externally accessible drives have drive-mounting rails. The 3.5-inch drives
also have drive-mounting extensions between the drive and the drive-mounting
rails. To remove a drive assembly from one of the externally accessible drive
bays, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the DC power cable and the interface cable from the back of
the drive.
Be sure to record the power connector number and the location of the inter-
face cable connector.
2. Press inward (toward center of drive) on the two drive-release tabs, and
slide the drive out of the bay.
3. Remove the drive-mounting rails and drive-mounting extensions (if
present) from the drive (see Figure 4-9).
4. If the drive is a SCSI drive, record the setting of the SCSI address
jumpers and SCSI bus termination jumper.
