3. If reusing the processor and heatsink, clean the top of the processor and the bottom of the heatsink
using an alcohol pad (included with the thermal grease kit) or a clean dry wipe to remove all
traces of the old thermal grease. Allow the alcohol to evaporate before continuing.
CAUTION:
The processor should be installed on the processor memory board before cleaning to prevent
damaging the pins.

VLS6000 series Disk Array Component Replacement

Hard Drive

CAUTION:
Before removing a hard drive from the disk array, be sure that a replacement hard drive is immediately
available. Removing a hard drive causes a significant change in the airflow within the disk array,
and the disk array could overheat if a replacement hard drive is not installed within a relatively short
time.
Be careful when replacing a drive. The drives in the disk array are fragile.
1. Press the drive latch release button.
2. Pull the drive out of the disk array by its latch handle about 3 cm (1 inch) so that it is disconnected
from the backplane connector.
CAUTION:
A drive with a rapidly spinning disk can be difficult to hold securely. To decrease the chance
of dropping the drive, do not remove it completely from the disk array until the disk has
stopped rotating. This usually takes a few seconds.
