Removing the Drive Module

To preserve SCSI communications, do not loosen or remove the SCSI
cable(s) connected to the outside of the drive module. The connection to be
removed is located inside the drive module.
When the drive module has been successfully taken offline, the LED on
the back of the drive will be flashing yellow. Remove the drive module
using the steps below:
1. Verify the external SCSI cable(s) are securely fastened to the
connector plate.
2. Loosen the thumbscrews on each side of the connector plate located in
the middle of the drive module (Figure 3-1). If this is your first time
loosening the thumbscrews, you may want to use a screwdriver.
3. Gently remove the connector plate with SCSI cable(s) still connected.
Use standard precautions for electro-static discharge (ESD) protection.
4. Grasp the ribbon cable that is plugged into the drive module. Remove
the cable by pulling the connector to the left. (See Figure 3-1 for the
location of the ribbon cable and connector.)
