Removing SCSI Disk Drive

214
Before you remove a SCSI disk drive, you must power off the IX-brick according to the
instructions in "Powering Off Server" on page 24.
To remove a SCSI disk drive, follow these steps (see Figure 14-12):
1. Remove the drive bay cover to access the two SCSI disk drive bays, as shown in
panel 1 of Figure 14-12.
2. Remove the disk drive by depressing its handle lock with your thumb and pulling
the handle away from the chassis until the handle disengages the disk drive
connector from the backplane connector.
3. Carefully slide the disk drive out of the bay and place it on an ESD-safe surface. Do
not use the handle to pull the disk drive out of the bay.
Note: When the IX-brick has only one SCSI disk drive, it should reside in the rightmost
bay.
4. Install the drive bay cover.
After you remove the SCSI disk drive, power on the IX-brick according to the
instructions in "Powering On Server" on page 8.
