likely to be damaged during installation and service. Bumping or handling drives roughly
causes latent failures. Do not stack drives, and always use appropriate ESD practices.
A drop of as little as 1/4 inch can cause latent failures. Media can take 30 seconds to
spin down, so ensure at least a 30 second delay after switching off the hot-swappable
drives for removal.
Notes:
1. Disk drive banks support hot-swappable disk drives only.
2. This procedure is similar for any hot-swap disk drive that is supported by this
drawer.
3. For additional information regarding the operation of the hot-swap disk drives, see
the documentation that came with the drives.
4. Remember that each 1.6 inch SCSI disk drive takes two bays.
This section gives the instructions for inserting hot-swap disk drives into the disk drive
banks.
1. To insert a hot-swap disk drive, open the door to the Input/output Rack.
2. Loosen the screws that hold the disk drive cover to the drawer and remove the disk
drive cover from the drawer, storing it in a safe place.
Note: In this illustration, the rack is shown with the door and hinges removed.
