Locking and Unlocking a Drive

Avid recommends that you keep the drives locked in the enclosure. The AS3000 ships with

several drive keys.

To lock a drive:

1. Locate the drive key that shipped with the AS3000 accessory package.

2. Make sure that the latch is secure on the front of the drive.

3. Insert the key into the drive carrier lock and turn it clockwise to lock the drive in place.
