Removing the front bezel
You must remove the front bezel to access the disk drawers, which enables you to remove and install physical disks in the
system.
1. Press the release latch on either side of the front bezel.
2. Keeping the release latches pressed, hold the bezel and pull the bezel away from the system.
Service action allowed indicator LED
Each hot-swappable component on your storage enclosure has a Service action allowed indicator. The Service action allowed
indicator, indicates that a component can be safely removed from the storage enclosure.
CAUTION:
Never remove any hot-swappable component until the Service action allowed indicator on the
component lights blue. Removing a hot-swappable component with the Service action allowed indicator off, can
result in a loss of data and data availability.
NOTE: The Service action allowed indicator LED is not used in server attached configurations.
SAS chain cables
There are two SAS cable chains on each side of the physical-disk drawer that connects the physical disks installed in the
physical-disk drawer to the midplane.
● The connector on each SAS chain cable that connects to the physical-disk drawer is oriented horizontally.
● The connector on each SAS chain cable that connects to the midplane is oriented vertically.
