Replacing a drive

Warning
There is no need to turn off the enclosure or the host computer system. The
drives are hot-swappable. Be careful of the "P-factor" effect when removing a
drive, which is the twisting of the drive in your hand as a result of the spinning
disk. Allow the drive to completely spin down before removing it. To do this,
pull the drive slightly from its locked position and allow it to spin down, then
remove the drive.
To replace a drive:
1
Remove the front bezel as described in "Removing the front bezel" on
page 62.
2
Identify the failed drive using the Drive Status LED. For more information,
see "Troubleshooting" on page 47 and "Drive LEDs" on page 33.
Drives and printed circuit board components are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge. To prevent operating failure or
damage, observe the following: Establish a ground for
yourself by using the wrist grounding strap, or by touching
the metal chassis prior to handling or installing the drives
or printed circuit board components.
