5.5 Dismounting

Drives

Since the method and procedure for dismounting the disk drive for replacement of the drive, etc.
depends on the locker structure of the system, etc., the work procedure must be determined in
consideration of the requirements specific to the system. This section describes the general
procedure and notes on dismounting the drive.

Damage

1. When dismounting the drive which is mounted on the system while power is

supplied to it.
• The spindle motor can be stopped by a START/STOP command. It

takes about 15 seconds for the spindle motor to stop completely.

• Then, dismount the drive using the drive mounting/dismounting

mechanism, etc. of the system. If the drive is dismounted while the
spindle motor is running, special care is required to avoid excessive
vibration or shock to the drive. It is recommended to stop the operation
once the connector breaks off contact and wait until the spindle motor
stops (about 15 seconds) before dismount the drive.

• When storing or transporting the drive, put it in the antistatic bag

(refer to Section 5.1).

2. When dismounting the drive which is mounted on the system while power is

not supplied to it.
• Do not move the drive until the drive stops completely (about 15

seconds if the spindle motor was stopped by a START/STOP UNIT
command, and about 15 seconds after powering-off when the power
was simply turned off).

• Then, dismount the drive using the drive mounting/dismounting

mechanism, etc. of the system.

• When storing or transporting the drive, put it in the antistatic bag

(refer to Section 5.1).
