Appendix A
Removing a Hard Disk
This chapter describes how to remove and replace a disk drive in the ARX®1000
chassis. This is a hot-swap procedure, requiring no power-down of the switch and no
loss of service.
Note that older models of the ARX®1000 have only a single, internal disk drive that
is not replaceable. Carefully remove the front bezel to determine if you have a model
with replaceable drives: put one hand on each end of the bezel and pull straight back
from the face of the chassis. The two replaceable drives are on the right side of the
front panel, one over the other:
Each drive is held in place with two captive screws.

WARNING
Static electricity can damage switch components. Be sure to wear antistatic wrist straps
before handling disk drives.
