Safety notes
V CAUTION!
● The hard disk drive must not be removed from the installation frame
by anyone except a service technician.
● HDD / SSD modules must all be marked clearly so that they can be
reinstalled into their original mounting locations 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 or solid state
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 or solid state drive.
