NOTE CAUTION Figure 4-5 Troubleshooting, Removal, and Replacement Removing and Replacing Drive Modules (for HP Authorized Personnel) Removing a Drive Module 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. When the drive module has been successfully taken offline, one of the LEDs on the back of the drive will be flashing yellow. 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 4-5). If this is your first time loosening the thumbscrews, use a screwdriver. 3. Gently remove the connector plate, with SCSI cable(s) still connected. 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 4-5 for the location of the ribbon cable and connector.
