Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring 4. Gently slide the drive module into the cage and stop when you feel resistance. 3 1 2 Figure 3-10. Inserting the Drive 5. Verify that the two pins behind the pivot end of the handle engage the holes in the edge of the cage. 6. Press the ejector handle in until you feel the latch click into place. Closing the ejector handle engages the drive with the electrical connector in the Hot Swap drive cage and seats the drive. 7. If the drive is unseated in the cage after closing the ejector handle, repeat this procedure from Steps 3 to 6. The handle was probably not pulled out far enough, and the locking latch failed to engage the Hot Swap mass storage cage. NOTE Closing the ejector handle engages the drive with the electrical connector in the Hot Swap mass storage cage and seats the drive. Removing Hot Swap Hard Drives CAUTION You must remove the drive slowly to ensure the drive heads are parked prior to removal. Ensure that you follow these instructions carefully to prevent handling damage, such as head slaps or head actuator unlocking. 1. To unlock the drive, push the locking latch in and then pull the ejector handle toward you. 2. Gently pull the drive out about an inch to disengage the power connection. 3. Wait about 30 seconds for the drive to stop spinning and the drive heads to park. 4. Use your hand to support the bottom of the drive, while you slowly pull the drive straight out. Do not allow the drive to fall. 5. Place the drive in an electrostatic-protected container. Do not stack drives. 36
