Hard disk drives
This chapter provides information on how to install or remove hard disk drives.
Safety notes
V
CAUTION!
Hard disk drives must all be marked clearly so that they can be
●
reinstalled in their original places 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 a hard disk drive, wait for about 30 seconds until the
●
disk has stopped spinning completely.
When a hard disk drive 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 hard disk drives. 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 drive, wipe
●
out the data on the drive for your own security.
Rough handling of hard disk drives may damage the stored data. To
●
cope with any unexpected problems, always back up important data.
When backing up data to another hard disk drive, you should make
backups on a file or partition basis.
Handle the device on a shock and vibration free surface.
●
Do not use the device in extremely hot or cold locations, or locations
●
with extreme temperature changes.
Never attempt to disassemble a hard disk drive.
