Sorry for the off-topic question. I''m needing to replace a disk in a x4540 zfs file system. I have replacement ST31000NSSUN disks, but it''s not obvious to me how to separate the original disk from its drive sled, it seems to be attached by more than the usual 4 screws. Is it meant to be separated? I''ve looked the x4540 user guide but it does not say anything about it. Tony Schreiner
You need to pry the drive sled off of the disk once the screws are removed. There are two or four notches that hold onto the disk. You''ll end up spreading the carrier frame slightly. -- Edmund White ewwhite at mac.com On 12/12/11 5:25 PM, "Tony Schreiner" <anthony.schreiner at bc.edu> wrote:>Sorry for the off-topic question. >I''m needing to replace a disk in a x4540 zfs file system.

Thanks for that. Success. I was apprehensive about prying too hard.
