Owners Manual

CAUTION: Do not try to remove more than one drawer at a time. Ensure that you insert the drawer that is out
completely before pulling out another drawer.
NOTE: Note and save the location of the physical disks before removing the physical disks from the physical-disk
drawer.
NOTE: The physical-disk drawers are not hot-swappable. Replacing a physical-disk drawer causes all the physical disks
in the replaced drawer to be unavailable to the controllers in the storage subsystem. If the physical disks in array of the
new physical-disk drawer were created without drawer loss protection, you must schedule down time to replace the
drawer because these arrays fail when the drawer is replaced.
5. Remove all the physical disks from the disk drawer.
6. Slide the physical-disk drawer out until the release tab on each side of the disk drawer is visible.
7. Pull the release tab toward the front of the system to release the physical-disk drawer from the chassis and pull the
physical-disk drawer out of the chassis.
