Media Drawer
The 6200
plus
chassis is designed for easy access and installation of storage media. The
media drawer provides quick access to the drive bays without requiring removal of the
top cover (Figure 10). Drives can be removed and installed with a minimum of time and
effort.
The procedure for removing the media drawer is outlined in the following table:
Step Action
1 Loosen the three (3) thumbscrews at the top of the media drawer.
2 Slide the media drawer out of the chassis until the latches halt the drawer.
3 Release the spring-loaded latch on each side of the tray to release the media
drawer from the chassis.
Note:
Drives can be installed in the drawer while the drawer remains
supported in the chassis.
Always use caution when sliding the drawer. Carefully move the drawer in or
out of the chassis to avoid damaging the cables, latches, and other equipment.
Do not remove the media drawer from the tower model with the chassis in the
upright position. Before removing the media drawer, lay the chassis on its
“side,” with the top cover facing upward.
The media drawer is intended to allow quick access to media. The drawer is
not designed to support excessive weight while extended from the chassis.
