SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
 Never remove an HDD when the HDD status lamp of the HDD is OFF.
If you do, the data stored in the HDD gets corrupted.
 Wear cotton gloves when replacing an HDD in order to prevent problems
caused by static electricity. If you do not, the data stored on the HDD may
get corrupted.
 Make sure you check the correct procedure before you start the work.
If you do not follow the correct procedure, the data stored on the HDD may
be lost.
 As a replacement HDD, do not use an HDD previously used in the A model
or the B model. If you do, this equipment may not operate properly or the
data on the HDDs may be lost because of configuration information mismatches
or other reasons.
 Mount an HDD securely. Loose contact and missing screws may result in a failure.
 Do not subject an HDD you are mounting and the already mounted HDDs to shock
while replacing an HDD.Otherwise, failure of the drive may result.
 Until the rebuild is complete, avoid shutting off the power for this equipment or
attaching and detaching HDDs. Otherwise, the data on the HDDs may be lost or
a failure may result.
 If you apply the recovery method for an offline HDD to an HDD that was set
to offline by something other than the RAS software, the HDD may not be
recovered, or even if it is recovered, the HDD may not work properly.
 Use the recovery method for an offline HDD only for the purpose of evaluating
the equipment. If you apply the recovery method for an offline HDD to
equipment actually used in the field, for example, a system in normal operation,
malfunctions may result, including data loss.
 If an HDD is automatically set to offline by the equipment, the HDD may
possibly be out of order. Do not apply the recovery method for an offline HDD
to such an HDD.
 An HDD recovered by the recovery method for an offline HDD must not be
used for equipment actually used in the field. If used, malfunctions may
result, including data loss.
