Removing a Drive Module

Note

To preserve SCSI communications, do not loosen or remove the

SCSI cable(s) connected to the outside of the drive module. The

connection to be removed is located inside the drive module.

Remove the drive module using the steps below:
1. Verify the external SCSI cable is tightened to the connector plate.
2. Loosen the thumbscrews on each side of the connector plate, located in the

middle of the drive module (

Figure 51

on page 163). If this is your first

time loosening the thumbscrews, use a screwdriver.

3. Gently remove the connector plate, with SCSI cable(s) still connected.

Caution

Use standard precautions for electro-static discharge (ESD)

protection.

4. Grasp the ribbon cable that is plugged into the drive module. Remove the

cable by pulling the connector to the left. See

Figure 51

on page 163 for

the location of the ribbon cable and connector.
