Learn how to remove a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
disk drive filler from the system or expansion unit.
When you are installing a disk drive or solid-state drive
in a system or in an expansion unit, the slot you want to use can
contain a disk drive filler. Complete the following tasks to remove
the filler before installing a disk drive or solid-state drive in
the slot.
- Identify the slot containing the disk drive filler.
Attention: - Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware
to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging your hardware.
- When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures.
A wrist strap is for static control. It does not increase or decrease
your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical
equipment.
- If you do not have a wrist strap, just prior to removing the product
from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an
unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
- Hold the filler handle (A) and pull out the disk
drive filler from the slot, as shown in Figure 1.
