Primary Boot Disk Replacement

Kurt Wagner — Wed, 12 Dec 2001 21:23:20 GMT

How do I physically remove the primary boot
drive from Slot C on a K-Class Server. Ive
got the front cover off and can see the drives
but cannot figure out how to remove the drive.

Thanks in advance,

Kurt

hey,

try this:
1) there will 6 screws in front of the pannel (where the disks, CD and DDS resides). U need to remove these and pull it by unlocking the livers (plastic).
2) Once u have taken the full pannel out, u will be able to see the HDD physically and can be removed easily.
3) Be sure to use ur wristbands !

HTH,

Hi Kurt:

Your remove the Torx-10 screws holding the carrier then use to plastic tabs to lever the entire carrier assembly out. You can then remove the back of the carrier.

Of course, you are wearing your anti-static strap while doing this.

Hopefully you've got the machine powered down.

If not, do it now.

Now, you will have to remove the cage that the drives are in. This is done by taking out 4 (?) screws that hold it in.

Once that is done, you should be able to just pull the entire drive cage out and lay it on a table. To get the drives out, just unscrew the 2 screws on each side of the drive and unplug the SCSI and power connections.

Now reverse all the steps to put the new drive in.

(This is why I really LOVE the jamaica enclosures now for root drives) :)

The cage is pivoted to the cabinet with screws that can be seen in front. Unscrew take it out and seperate the HDD.
