Removing the Ultra3 Disk Drive Module

CAUTION
You must remove the disk drive module slowly to ensure that
the drive heads are parked prior to removal. Be sure to follow
these instructions carefully to prevent handling damage, such
as head slaps or head actuator unlocking.
1. To unlock the Ultra3 disk drive module, push the blue latch in, and then
pull the front lever.
2. Gently pull the disk drive module out, about an inch (2.5 cm), to break the
power connection.
3. Wait about 30 seconds for the hard disk drive to stop spinning and the
drive heads to park.
4. Use your hand to support the bottom of the disk drive module. Slowly pull
the disk drive module straight out. Do not allow the disk drive module to
fall.
5. If your disk drive modules are inserted vertically, turn the disk drive
module slowly to its horizontal storage orientation.
6. Place the disk drive module in an electrostatic protected container. Do not
stack disk drive modules.
