Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices

Removing Hot-Swap Drives

CAUTION You must slowly remove the drive to ensure that the drive heads

are parked prior to removal. Be sure to follow these instructions

carefully to prevent damage such as head slaps or head actuator

unlocking.

1. To unlock the drive, push in the locking latch, and then pull the ejector

handle toward you.

2. Gently pull out the drive about an inch to disengage the power connection.

3. Wait about 30 seconds for the drive to stop spinning and for the drive

heads to park.

4. Using your hand to support the bottom of the drive, slowly pull out the

drive in a straight and forward direction. Do not let the drive fall.

5. Place the drive in an electrostatic protected container. Do not stack drives.

6. Use a filler panel to cover the space created by the removal of the drive.

See the “Removing a Filler Panel” section for instructions.

NOTE Leave the filler panels in place unless you are installing a SCSI

device. They are required for proper ventilation.

Connecting SCSI Subsystems

The external SCSI connector, Channel B, is used for connecting external SCSI

subsystems, such as the HP Rack Storage/12.

CAUTION Do not mix high-voltage differential (HVD) drives and

receiver devices with the SE, LVD (Ultra 2), or multimode

devices on the same SCSI channel.
