Caution
The array controller can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
Use the ESD kit provided when removing and installing an array
controller.
To prevent data loss, it is recommended that a full backup be
performed before removing an array controller.
Do not operate the array for more than 5 minutes with an array
controller or filler panel removed. Either an array controller or
filler panel must be installed to maintain proper airflow in the
controller enclosure. Use the foam in the replacement array
controller packaging to temporarily plug the empty slot.
