Hard disk drives (HDD) and solid
state drives (SSD)
Safety notes
V
CAUTION!
The HDD must not be removed from the installation frame by anyone
●
except a service technician.
HDD/SSD modules must all be marked clearly so that they can be
●
reinstalled into their original mounting locations after an upgrade.
Otherwise, data may be lost.
Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the
●
metallic areas or the edges of the circuit boards.
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 OS, 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 a hard disk 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.
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.
