IBM service representatives will not be dispatched to service or replace the removable disk drives.
Storing removable disk drives
Store removable disk drives in their protective containers, on a flat surface with the top side up. The
storage area must be clean and dry, must have normal room temperature, and must be away from any
magnetic fields. For best storage life, use the removable disk drives every six months.
Supported USB adapters and cables
Attention: The docking station supports the USB cable that is provided as part of the feature code. The
docking station does not support attachment by using other USB cables, USB hubs, add-on USB cables, or
USB cable extenders.
The internal docking station must be connected to the internal, integrated USB port on the 8286-41A
system.
