Removing The Physical-Disk Drawer

  • CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
  1. Prepare the physical-disk drawer for removal by stopping all input and output to the storage enclosure.
  2. Remove the front bezel.
  3. Remove both the SAS cable chains from the back of the chassis.
  4. Open the physical-disk drawer.
    • CAUTION: Do not try to remove more than one drawer at a time. Ensure that you insert the drawer that is out completely before pulling out another drawer.
    • NOTE: Note and save the location of the physical disks before removing the physical disks from the physical-disk drawer.
    • NOTE: The physical-disk drawers are not hot-swappable. Replacing a physical-disk drawer causes all of the physical disks in the replaced drawer to be unavailable to the Enclosure Management Modules (EMM) in the storage subsystem.
  5. Remove all the physical disks from the disk drawer.
  6. Slide the physical-disk drawer out until the release tab on each side of the disk drawer is visible.
  7. Pull the release tab toward the front of the system to release the physical-disk drawer from the chassis and pull the physical-disk drawer out of the chassis.
