v When you press Enter, after your selected time delay, the service indicator light comes on (solid) for
18 seconds. You then have 18 seconds to unlock and remove the drive. You can set an appropriate
time delay of 01 - 19 minutes to allow adequate time to access the disk drive or solid-state drive.
v If you are removing a disk drive or solid-state drive on the 5887 disk drive enclosure the service
indicator is solid (on) and does not flash during this procedure.
3. When the identify LED turns on solid on the system, squeeze and pull the handle of the drive out
toward you before you remove the disk drive or solid-state drive. If the handle is not all the way out,
the disk drive or solid-state drive cannot slide out of the system or out of the expansion unit.
4. Support the bottom of the drive as you slide it out of the system or an expansion unit. Do not hold
the disk drive or solid-state drive by the handle. Press Enter on the console to indicate that you have
removed the drive. The identify LED turns off.

5. If the removed drive has a bezel attached to it, you can remove the disk drive bezel. For instructions,
see "Removing a disk drive bezel from a disk drive or filler" on page 79.
Important: If the disk drive bezel does not have a thumbscrew, then the bezel is not removable and
the drive is a SAS disk drive. The replacement SAS disk drive comes with a preinstalled bezel.
If you are installing a replacement drive as a replacement for the failed disk drive or solid-state drive, go
to "Replacing a disk drive or solid-state drive in the 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, or 9109-RMD with the IBM i
system or logical partition power turned on" on page 63.
If you are not installing a replacement drive, install a filler in the empty slot to ensure proper air flow for
cooling. For instructions, see "Installing a disk drive filler in the 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, or 9109-RMD" on
page 76.
