Storage shelf disk drives

The NetBackup 5240 Storage Shelf is a 2U enclosure that contains 12 disk drives.

Disk drive carriers in the storage shelf are locked by default. If you need to replace a locked disk drive use a screwdriver with a T10 bit to unlock each carrier.

The lock is located on the left side of each carrier.
