Installing a Hot-Swap Hard Disk Drive
CAUTION Protect the drive from static electricity by leaving it in its
anti-static bag until you are ready to install it. Before
handling the drive, touch any unpainted metal surface to
discharge static electricity. When you remove the drive from
the anti-static bag, handle it only by the frame.
Do not touch the electrical components. Place the drive on
the anti-static bag whenever you set it down.
Hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and
can be damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch.
Take care when unpacking and handling the drive. If the
drop would crack an egg, it will damage the drive.
1. If there is a filler panel in the hot-swap mass storage location, remove the
filler as follows:
•
Press the locking latch.
•
Pull the filler panel straight out (see Figure 6-2).
