    See Locate a Faulty Drive.

  2. Consider your next step.
    • If you have not prepared for service, do so now. See Preparing for Service.

    • If you are removing a drive as part of another component's removal or installation procedure, go to Step 3.

  3. Remove the filter.

    See Remove the Filter.

  4. Determine if you need to shut down the OS to remove the drive, and perform one of these actions.
  5. Take the drive offline according to your OS.

    See your OS documentation.
