• Customers are not allowed to install drives to the ETERNUS DX500 S5/DX600 S5/
DX900 S5. To install drives, contact your sales representative or maintenance
engineer.
• Do not uninstall or move a drive that is already installed.
Contact your sales representative or maintenance engineer if drives that are
installed by default need to be uninstalled or moved to another slot.
• When moving a drive from a cold place, such as an unconditioned store house in
winter, to a warmer place such as an air-conditioned room, the severe

for each 15°C of temperature difference) to adapt to the new temperature.
