Removing Disk Drives

The disk drives for drive IDs A3 and A4 must be removed from the drive tray
to access the SCSI cable connectors on the SCSI backplane. Drive ID A3 is
adjacent to the SCSI backplane connectors and A4 is adjacent to A3.

CAUTION: Media disk drives are very sensitive to shock and vibration. To
prevent damage, do not drop or bang a drive when handling. Do not stack
drives upon each other.

CAUTION: Media disk drives are also very sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD), particularly the SCSI connector. To prevent damage, take
ESD precautions when handling the drives. Also, the drives should only be
transported and stored in the ESD bags in which they were shipped.

To remove these disk drives, pull up on the caddies, lift them out of the chassis
and place on a static-free surface. See Figure 3.
