Depending on the storage system, the disk drives have the release button located at the top or
on the left of the disk drive face.
For example, the following illustration shows a disk drive with the release button located on the
top of the disk drive face:
The cam handle on the disk drive springs open partially and the disk drive releases from the
midplane.
6. Pull the cam handle to its fully open position to unseat the disk drive from the midplane.
7. Slide out the disk drive slightly and allow the disk to safely spin down, which can take less than
one minute, and then, using both hands, remove the disk drive from the disk shelf.
8. With the cam handle in the open position, insert the replacement disk drive into the drive bay,
firmly pushing until the disk drive stops.
Wait a minimum of 10 seconds before inserting a new disk drive. This allows the
system to recognize that a disk drive was removed.
If your platform drive bays are not fully loaded with drives, it is important to place
the replacement drive into the same drive bay from which you removed the failed
drive.
Use two hands when inserting the disk drive, but do not place hands on the disk
drive boards that are exposed on the underside of the disk carrier.
9. Close the cam handle so that the disk drive is fully seated into the midplane and the handle
clicks into place.
Be sure to close the cam handle slowly so that it aligns correctly with the face of the disk drive..
10. If you are replacing another disk drive, repeat Steps 4 through 9.
11. Reinstall the bezel.
12. If you disabled automatice drive assignment in Step 1, then, manually assign drive ownership
and then reenable automatic drive assignment if needed.
