Type: Remove & Replace / Add-On Instructions

CAUTION: Be sure replacement parts are acclimated to

room temperature (test by touching) before installing.

the unit or RAID array which voids the unit warranty.

CAUTION: To ensure adequate drive cooling, the lid of

the enclosure must be fully closed during operation.

This document describes how to remove and replace or

install additional disk drives in an Overland ULTAMUS

RAID 4800 Storage Appliance or Expansion Unit.

Electrostatic Discharge Information

A discharge of static electricity can damage micro-circuitry

or static-sensitive devices. To help prevent Electrostatic

Discharge (ESD), observe standard ESD precautions.

ULTAMUS RAID disk drives come pre-installed in a drive

carrier with a latch mechanism. The procedure for

replacing a drive is similar to one for adding more drives.

1. Pull the enclosure from the rack cabinet just enough to

expose the drive slots.

The lid is retained in the rack as the enclosure slides

forward (Figure 1).

2. If replacing a drive, remove the old drive carrier:

a. Release the drive carrier handle by sliding the latch

towards the front of the enclosure and pivoting the

handle to the upright position. (Figure 2)

b. Using the raised handle, pull the drive carrier up

and out of the enclosure, setting it aside.

3. Insert the drive carrier into the enclosure (Figure 3):

Drive Installation

b. Slide the drive carrier all the way into the enclosure.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the drive carrier is

orientated so that the handle opens towards the

front of the enclosure.

c. Seat the drive carrier - the camming foot of the

carrier engages into a slot in the drive bay.

d. When the drive carrier is fully seated, close the

handle. (Figure 4)

A click should be heard as the latch engages and

holds the handle closed.

4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as needed until all the appropriate

drives are replaced or the enclosure is populated with

the desired amount of disk drives.

5. Close up the enclosure by sliding it back into the rack.
