a. Press the latch on the right end of the tray handle to release it.
b. Pull out the tray handle to the open position.
c. Slide the drive partially out of the bay and wait at least 20 seconds before
fully removing the drive from the EXP3000. This enables the drive to spin
down and avoids possible damage to the drive.

drive; then, gently slide it completely out of the EXP3000.
a. Gently push the drive into the empty bay until the tray handle touches the

a. When a drive is ready for use, the green activity LED and the amber status
LED are off.
b. If the amber status LED is lit and not flashing, remove the drive from the
unit and wait 10 seconds; then, reinstall the drive. If the amber LED is
flashing, the drive is rebuilding.
Controller management information: In some cases, the RAID controller will automatically
reset the drive to the Hot Spare or Rebuild state. If the drive state change does not occur
automatically (amber LED stays lit), refer to your Controller management documentation for
information about manually changing the state of the drive from the current state to another
state, such as Hot Spare or Ready. The amber LED should turn off within 10 seconds after
the drive-state change.
