Uplogix 500 Hard Drive Removal¶

For certain secure locations, it may be necessary to remove the Lantronix 500's hard drive before sending the Local Manager back as part of an RMA. This article describes how to remove the hard drive from the chassis. The drive can then be destroyed; it does not need to be returned to Lantronix.

1. Remove Screws From Cover¶

Remove the 5 cover screws from the back of the u500. Be careful not to strip the screws when removing and replacing. Serial Pin Out Figure 1: Back of u500. Cover screws circled in red.
