Safety notes
V
CAUTION!
Before removing several HDD/SSD modules, make sure that all
●
HDD/SSD modules can be reinstalled into their original bay.
Otherwise, data may be lost.
Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold circuit
●
boards by their metallic areas or edges.
Before removing an HDD, wait for about 30 seconds until the disk has
●
stopped spinning completely.
When an HDD is starting up, a resonant noise may be audible for a
●
short while. This does not indicate a failure.
Depending on the operating system, you can configure the write
●
cache settings for the HDDs. If a power failure should occur while the
write cache is enabled, cached data may be lost.
When disposing of, transferring, or returning an HDD or SSD, wipe
●
out the data on the drive for your own security.
Rough handling of HDDs may damage the stored data. To cope with
●
any unexpected problems, always back up important data. When
backing up data to another HDD, you should make backups on a file
or partition basis.
Be careful not to hit the HDD or bring it into contact with metallic
●
objects.
Handle the HDD and SSD on a shock and vibration free surface.
●
Do not use the HDD and SSD in extremely hot or cold locations, or
●
locations with extreme temperature changes.
Never attempt to disassemble the HDD or SSD.
