7.5 Installing Internal Hard Disk
Units
This section explains how to install internal hard disk units.
Before adding an internal hard disk unit, install the OS and turn off the server.
• When installing or removing internal hard disk units, turn off the server, all
peripheral devices, and any other connected devices. Also unplug all power
cables from the outlet.
However, when the array system is configured, the defect hard disk unit can
be replacing without turning off the server.
• Install our genuine internal hard disk units only. Failure to do so may cause a
device failure, fire, or electric shock.
• When the hard disk unit is starting up, you may hear a resonant noise for a
while, but this does not mean a failure.
• Depending on the OS, you can configure the write cache settings for the hard
disk drives. However, disable the write cache for use in this server. If the
power failure occurs while the write cache is enabled, cached data may be
lost.
• When disposing of, transferring, or returning a hard disk unit, wipe out the
data on the hard disk for your own security. Contact an office listed in the
"Contact Information" of "Start Guide" regarding repairs of the hard disk units.
• Rough handling of hard disk units can damage the stored data. To cope with
any unexpected problems, always back up important data. When backing up
data to another hard disk drive, you should make backups on a file or partition
basis.
• Use the unit in a dry place with low dust levels.
• Be careful not to hit the hard disk unit or bring it into contact with metallic
objects.
• Use and store the unit in a shock and vibration free environment.
• Keep the unit away from direct sunlight and from radiators or other heat
sources.
• Do not use or store the unit in extremely hot or cold location, or locations with
extreme temperature changes.
• Do not disassemble hard disk units.
