Replacing an LFF drive carrier module
The replacement procedures for LFF drive carrier modules are the same for SFF modules, except that the LFF drive carrier
modules are mounted horizontally.
Removing an LFF drive carrier module
Perform the following steps to remove an LFF drive carrier module from a 2U enclosure:
1. Press the latch on the drive module carrier to open the handle.

in all unused drive slots.
