Removing Physical Disks from the Enclosure

NOTICE:

To avoid damage, never leave a physical disk carrier partially removed

from the enclosure. Rotating a carrier handle next to an unseated disk carrier will
result in serious damage to the unseated disk carrier.

NOTICE:

To avoid data loss when removing a physical disk, Dell recommends that

you verify with MD Storage Manager that the appropriate disk is being removed.
Removing an Assigned physical disk could result in data loss.

CAUTION:

Always wear a wrist grounding strap when handling equipment with

static-sensitive components.

1 Wait until the LED indicators on the physical disk carrier stop flashing.
2 Squeeze the release mechanism on the front of the physical disk carrier

(see Figure 3-2).
