Recovering From Hdd Failure In One Side - Hitachi HF-W2000 35 User Manual

10.4.3 Recovering from HDD failure in one side

 Wear cotton gloves when replacing an HDD in order to prevent failure caused
by static electricity. Otherwise, the data in the HDDs may be corrupted.
 Mount an HDD steadily. Loose contact and missing screws may result in
failure.
 Do not shake the installing HDD and the already mounted HDDs while
replacing an HDD. If you do so, the device may fail.
 When you use the software RAID1 construction utility, disconnect all the
external storage devices connected to the Equipment beforehand. Otherwise,
the Equipment may not start up, or the data in the HDDs may be lost.
 Until rebuild is complete, avoid shutting off the power for the Equipment or
attaching and detaching HDDs. Otherwise, the data in the HDDs may be lost
or failure may result.
When you recover from failure in one HDD, follow the procedure below.
1. Back up the data. (See Subsection 8.1, "Backing Up Files".)
2. Shut down the OS, and pull out the plug of the power cable from the outlet. Wait one
minute or more, and then replace the failed HDD with a new HDD. (For information
about how to replace an HDD, see Subsection 5.4.3, "Detaching/attaching hard disk drive
(HDD)".)
If any external storage devices are connected to the Equipment, disconnect them.
3. Turn on the power for the Equipment. Before the OS starts, insert the software RAID1
construction utility "Software RAID1 For Windows(R)" into the DVD drive.
