Removing a disk drive

Caution: Do not remove more than one disk drive at a

time from the enclosure. Doing so will impact cooling of the

enclosure and may cause data loss.

1. Push in the port-colored ejector button (1, Figure 2) and

pull the release lever (2) down to the full open position.

Caution: Rotating media can make the disk drive difficult

to handle. To avoid dropping and damaging the disk drive,

wait approximately 30 seconds for the media to stop

rotating before removing the drive from the enclosure.

2. Pull the disk drive part way out of the enclosure (3) and

wait for the media to stop spinning.

3. When the media has stopped spinning, remove the disk

drive from the enclosure.
