4.7 Drive Plate Removal
You do not have to remove any devices mounted on the drive plate to
remove the drive plate from the system box.
To remove the drive plate:
1. Remove the system box cover (Section 4.3).
2. If the drive plate has devices mounted on it, complete all the following
steps. If the drive plate has no devices mounted on it, proceed to
step 6.
3. Disconnect the internal power cable, pn 17–02440–01, from the power
supply (Figure 4-10).
4. Disconnect the SCSI cable, pn 17–02223–01, that goes from the MSC
module to the system module.
5. Disconnect the SCSI terminator or the external SCSI cable from the
SCSI port on the back panel.
6. Loosen the five captive screws and the three slide mount screws on
the drive plate as shown in (Figure 4–10). Do not remove the screws
from their mountings.
7. Slide the drive plate (with the drives) forward approximately 1/2 inch
and then lift it up and off the system box. Set the plate aside.
