Removing a disk-drive filler

You might need to remove a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) disk-drive filler from the server or expansion unit. Use the procedure in this section to perform this task.

1. Remove the system unit door, expansion unit door, or open the rack front door. For instructions, select the appropriate procedure from the following list:
   • Removing and replacing the expansion unit cover or door
2. Remove the front cover. For instructions on removing the cover, select the appropriate procedure from the following list:
   • Removing the front cover from the 8234-EMA, 9117-MMA, or 9406-MMA
   • Removing the front cover from a 7311-D20 expansion unit
   • If you have a front cover from any other models, remove the front cover.
3. Identify the disk-drive filler you want to remove.
4. Pull the disk-drive filler from the slot. Pull the disk-drive filler from the slot that you want to use, as shown in Figure 1.
   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.
