of the two upper bays.
3. Put a finger in the hole and pull the EMI metal shield out to disengage it from the
chassis, see Figure 1-7. Save the shield.
4. Remove the drive from its protective wrapper, and place it on an antistatic surface.
5. Record the drive model and serial numbers in your equipment log.
6. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the drive manufacturer’s
