Removing and replacing a drive

Caution. When servicing the drive, observe all precautions listed under “Elec-

trostatic discharge protection” in the preface. Failure to observe these

precautions can result in serious damage to electronic assemblies.

Warning. Be sure that the drive has completed spinning down before removing

it from its mounting. You may be physically harmed by the gyroscopic

motion produced by discs that have not completed spinning down.

To remove a drive for maintenance, perform the following steps:

1. Remove power from the drive by setting the On/Standby switch on the power

supply to the Standby position.

2. Disconnect the AC power cable from site power.

3. Disconnect the I/O cable and spindle sync cables (if used) from the drive.

4. Disconnect the DC power cable from the DC power connector on the drive.

5. Remove the mounting screws that secure the drive chassis to the cabinet.

6. Carefully lift the drive from its mounting, and move it to the desired location.

To install a replacement drive, follow the procedures in section 2.
