Notes When Replacing Hard Drive

・ The DriveStation is a precision device. Handle it with care, and do not drop it or subject it to sudden
jolts or impact.
・ The DriveStation weighs about 5.5 kg. Handle it with care to prevent injury.
・ The front panel is attached to the front of the DriveStation body by magnets. If the DriveStation is
lifted by the front panel, it could become detached from the body and fall. When lifting, be sure to
always grasp the sides of DriveStation body to take it out.
・ Perform the replacement work carefully, and take care to avoid injuring your hands on the metal
parts inside the DriveStation.
・ When replacing the hard drive, never disassemble parts whose instructions are not provided in this
manual. Be aware that any breakdowns or damage due to disassembly of the DriveStation are outside
the scope of the warranty.
・ To prevent damage due to electrostatic discharges, touch your hand on a nearby metal object (such
as a door knob or aluminum window frame) to discharge any built-up static electricity.
・ Operation is not possible if all four hard drives in the DriveStation are replaced at the same time.
・ Operation is not guaranteed when using hard drives other than the specific hard drives with the
same capacity designated for replacement.
