CAUTION:
All old disk drives must be removed from the system and replaced with the disk drives from the upgrade kit. Do not leave any old disk drives in the system.
To remove the existing disk drives from an Enterprise 3500 computer:
1.If you have not already done so, enter the following command to shut down the computer:
/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i0 -g0
2.Turn off the power to the computer using the key switch on the front of the computer and the power switch on the back of the computer.
3.For ESD isolation, verify that the AC power cord is plugged in.
4.Open the front door of the system.
5.Attach an ESD wrist strap to the metal chassis of the computer and to your wrist.
6.While the original disk drives are still in the computer, use the colored labels from the upgrade kit to label each disk drive with the slot number. Save the old disk drives in case you have to reinstall the original configuration.
