A failed Drive Enclosure drive degrades data throughput. Additionally, if more than one drive begins to fail, data loss can occur. Replace a failed drive with a drive of the same type and capacity as soon as possible.
Before handling a component, touch a grounded surface to discharge any static electricity.
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to your wrist, and stand on an ESD mat while replacing components.
Make sure that the replacement drive has the same capacity and same type as the drive to be replaced.
