WARNING!

two people to move. To safely and easily install the DS2500, using antistatic protection remove the
drive blanks, power supply/blower assemblies, EMU, and I/O modules. This reduces the weight of
the DS2500 to approximately 11.0 kg (24 lb). Even though a single person can lift this weight, the
DS2500 is difficult to install because of its physical size. Therefore, HP recommends that a minimum of
two people install an empty DS2500 in a rack.
