10. SOFTWARE RAID1 <Notice> • If the RAID status is shown as [Optimal(Media Error)] after rebuilding has been completed, we recommend that you back up data and then also replace the copy source HDD with a new one. (For the replacement procedure, see “6.3.7 Installing and removing an HDD”.) After both HDDs have been replaced, set up the computer again and restore data from the backup file.

10. SOFTWARE RAID1 (b) Replacing an HDD with the computer turned off 1. Back up data. (See “(2) Backing Up Files” in “4. HARD DISKS DRIVES (HDDs)” in “PRECAUTIONS”.) 2. Shut down the OS and unplug the power cable from the outlet. Wait for at least one minute, and then replace the defective HDD with a new one.

APPENDIX HANDLING REPLACEABLE COMPONENTS NOTICE Do not use a replaceable component for longer than the recommended replacement cycle. If you do, a deteriorating or worn-out component may cause the equipment to fail. ・As you use a component, it gradually deteriorates and becomes subject to wear and tear. The following components must be replaced at fixed intervals.
Page 325

< NOTE > ・ When you replace a component in order to, for example, repair equipment, you may need to replace the component with a functionally compatible one. ・ If you repair a component in a manner not recommended by the Manufacturer, proper operation of the component is not guaranteed.
