General procedures

General procedures include opening and closing drive drawers.

Opening a drawer

  1. Make sure the anti-tamper locks are not engaged. The red arrows on the locks will point inwards if the locks are disengaged (see the following figure). Unlock them if necessary by rotating them counterclockwise using a screwdriver with a Torx T20 bit.
