Disk Drive Cage Device

Up to four 3.5-inch x 1.0-inch SCSI disk drives may be installed in the disk drive cage at the front
of the base unit. To add, remove, or replace disk drives, you must first remove the disk drive cage.
To add, remove, or replace a disk drive in the disk drive cage:
WARNING The system is always on when connected to AC power. Before performing this
task, disconnect the system's power cord from its AC power outlet.
WARNING Mishandling a disk drive can cause the heads to crash! Subsequent failures
may not be noticeable for three to six months. Handle disk drives carefully to
avoid damage.
1. Remove the top cover and open the front panel. See Chapter 7, "Gaining Access to System
Components."
2. Remove the screws securing the disk drive cage to the base unit. See the following figure.
3. Pull the cage halfway out the front of the base unit.
4. Remove the power cables and data cables from any installed disk drives. Note the location of
each set of cables so you can replace them later.
5. Pull the cage completely out the front of the base unit.
