Reducing the enclosure weight

Before you install a DS2500, reduce its weight by removing the drive blanks, power supply/blower
assemblies, EMU, and I/O modules. The removal procedures in this section do not apply to an operating
enclosure, as they assume that there are no cables attached to the components, and no power is
connected.
WARNING!
A DS2500 with all components installed weighs more than 29.5 kg (65 lb) and requires a minimum of
two people to move. To safely and easily install the DS2500, remove the components as described in this
section. This reduces the DS2500 weight to approximately 1 1.0 kg (24 lb).
CAUTION:
Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Use proper antistatic protection as described in the
documentation that shipped with your system.
Removing the drive blanks
To remove a drive blank:
1.
Grasp the drive blank by the two tabs
2.
Lift up on the bottom tab and pull the blank out of the enclosure.
