Intel SRPL8 manual Removing a 5.25-inch Peripheral from the Front Bay, Removing a Media Device

Removing a 5.25-inch Peripheral from the Front Bay

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.

2.Remove the peripheral bay (see “Removing the Peripheral Bay” on page 117).

3.Disconnect the power and data cables from the drive.

4.The drive has two protruding plastic, snap-in rails attached. Squeeze the rail tabs toward each other as you carefully slide the drive forward out of the bay, and place it on an antistatic surface.

5.Remove and save the four screws and two slide rails.

6.If you leave the bay empty, install a stainless steel EMI shield on the bay for proper cooling and airflow.

7.If you do not replace a SCSI device with another SCSI device, modify the cable and termination arrangement so that a proper termination exists at the end of the cable (it can be a termination device only, not necessarily a SCSI peripheral).
