RX900 S2 Operating Manual 107
CSS components
A possible hard disk drive/solid state drive failure is reported by the CSS 
indicator lighting up on the front and rear of the server as well as by the indicator 
on the HDD/SSD module in question, see "Indicators on the hot-plug HDD/SSD 
modules" on page 82.
The hard disk drive/solid state drive failure is also displayed on the ServerView 
Local Service Display, see the "Customer Self Service (CSS)" manual on the 
ServerView Suite DVD 2.
V CAUTION!
● The hard disk drive/solid state drive must not be removed from the 
installation frame by anyone except a service technician.
● The HDD/SSD modules (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.
● The hot-plug function is only possible in conjunction with a 
corresponding RAID configuration.
Further information about the RAID configuration or RAID level can 
be found in the RAID controller documentation.
● Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the 
metallic areas or the edges of the circuit boards.
● Before removing the unit, wait for about 30 seconds until the disk 
stops spinning completely. 
● When the hard disk/solid state unit is starting up, you may hear a 
resonant noise for a while, but this does not mean a failure.
● Depending on the OS, you can configure the write cache settings for 
the hard disk drives/solid state 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/solid state 
unit, wipe out the data on the drive for your own security.
● Rough handling of hard disk/solid state units can damage the stored 
data. To cope with any unexpected problems, always back up 
important data. When backing up data to another hard disk drive/solid 
state drive, you should make backups on a file or partition basis.
● Be careful not to hit the hard disk/solid state unit or bring it into contact 
with metallic objects.
● Use the device on a shock and vibration free surface.
