5.3.3.1. Removing a Drive Carrier
Drive spin down:
Damage can occur to a drive if it is removed
while still spinning. If possible use the operating system to spindown
the drives prior to removal. If this is not possible we recommend that
you perform All steps of the following procedure to ensure that the
drive has stopped prior to removal:
1. If the anti-tamper lock has been activated, de-activate by locat-
ing the key into its socket and rotating it in an anti-clockwise
direction until the indicator is no longer visible in the aperture
beside the key.
2. Release the carrier handle, by pressing the latch in the handle
towards the handle hinge (i.e. towards the front of the enclo-
sure), see
Fig. 28
).
3. Gently withdraw the Drive Carrier module approximately 1 inch
(25mm), and wait 30 seconds (see
Fig. 29
).
4. Withdraw the module from the drive bay.
CAUTION:
Dummy Drive Carrier modules MUST be fitted to ALL
unused drive bays.There will be inadequate drive cooling if any are
