Removing the Drive Enclosure

96
Before moving the drive enclosure to a new location or before removing the enclosure
from its rack, it is highly recommended that you first remove all drive sleds from the
enclosure. Doing so will help safeguard the equipment and help ensure a smoother
transition to the new environment. Before removing the drive sleds, label each one so
that they will be replaced in the correct order.
If you do not have sufficient assistance or equipment to safely move the equipment to its
new location, refer to Chapter 7, "Drive Enclosure Component Replacement Procedures"
for instructions on depopulating the drive enclosure.
Note: If you are removing the drive enclosure so that you can connect it to another
controller enclosure, you must delete all volumes and hot spares from the drives before
removing the unit.
Also, if you are moving the drive enclosure a significant distance (to another building,
city, etc.), it is recommended that you pack it in its original shipping container.
Use the following procedure to remove and reinstall the drive enclosure.
1. Remove the front bezel from the drive enclosure (Figure 6-6).
The front bezel is held on by four snaps. Use a screwdriver to lever each end of the
bezel off the rack, then remove the bezel.
