Data Security

• Power down your host computer and all attached peripheral devices before beginning installation.
• Each enclosure contains up to 8 removable disk drive modules. Disk units are fragile. Handle them
with care, and keep them away from strong magnetic fields.
• All the supplied plug-in modules and blanking plates must be in place for the air to flow correctly
around the enclosure and also to complete the internal circuitry.
• If the subsystem is used with modules or blanking plates missing for more than a few minutes, the
enclosure can overheat, causing power failure and data loss. Such use may also invalidate the
warranty.
• If you remove any drive module, you may lose data.
– If you remove a drive module, replace it immediately. If it is faulty, replace it with a drive module
of the same type and capacity
• Ensure that all disk drives are removed from the enclosure before attempting to manhandle or move
the rack installation.
• Do not abandon your backup routines. No system is completely foolproof.

Special Tools and Equipment

There are no special tools required but in order to complete the assembly of some configurations you may
need the following (not supplied):
• Cross head and slotted screwdrivers.
• Security keys (one of these should be included with your RS-0800-LVD enclosure for use with the
drive locks).
