3. Replacement Procedure
Important +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
• Power off the unit and disconnect from the mains power supply before carrying out this work.
• Do not detach the cable connecting the unit and the front panel while the HDD status indicators are still lit or until 30 seconds have
passed since the HDD status indicators went off.
• Protect the hard disk drives from static electricity.
• Do not stack them, or keep them upright.
• Do not use an electric screwdriver to x them. (Tightening torque: Approx. 0.49 N · m (5 kgf · cm))
• Avoid rapid changes in the temperature/humidity to prevent condensation. (Acceptable change: within 15°C/h (59 °F/h))
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(1) Open the connectors cover on the front panel and remove the
xing screw.
Detach the front panel by sliding it after removing the screw.
(2) Disconnect the connector from the front panel.
