Removing the Enclosure

40
Before moving the enclosure to a new location or before removing the enclosure from its
rack, it is highly recommended that you first remove all drive sleds from the enclosure.
Doing so helps safeguard the equipment and ensures a smoother transition to the new
location. Before removing the drive sleds, label each one so that you can reinstall them in
the correct order.
Instructions for depopulating the enclosure is provided in Chapter 4, "Replacing
Enclosure Components".
Note: If you are removing an expansion enclosure so that you can connect it to a different
controller enclosure, you must delete all volumes and hot spares from the drives before
removing the unit. If you are moving the enclosure a significant distance (such as to
another building or city), it is recommended that you pack it in its original shipping
container.
To remove the enclosure from the rack, follow these steps:
1. Unsnap the side brackets from the front of the enclosure (see Figure 3-4).
2. Unscrew the front bezel from the mounting pins.
3. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, carefully remove the bezel from the front of the drive
enclosure. You must remove the bezel before you can remove the enclosure from the
rack.
