CAUTION!
The hard disk drives must all be marked clearly so that they can be
●
put back in their original places after an upgrade. If this is not done,
existing data can 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.
