Removing and Replacing a Disk Drive

BlackArmor® NAS 440/420 User Guide (Version 3)

Locate the failed hard drive. Ensure that there is no activity on the drive by checking its

LED—it should not be illuminated.

Warning:

Never remove more than one drive at a time. Failure to do so will result in

data loss.

Press down on the orange button to release the failed drive from the server. If the server

is powered on, wait until the drive stops spinning (approximately one minute) before

continuing.

Holding the handle, gently slide the hard drive partially out of the server until you can get

a firm grip on the drive itself, and then remove the drive from the server. Because the hard

drive is heavy, do not completely remove it or carry it by the plastic handle. Hold the drive

firmly on the top and bottom.

Caution:

The hard drive may be hot when removed.
