S stor-
age system:
1. Turn off the system and remove all power and signal cables.

The lock bar swings away and down below the level of the drive bays.
5. If the storage system is in a stand-alone configuration, tapthe bar to the left. The

the screw on the right side of the lock bar tube (see Figure 4).
