CAUTION:
Hazardous energy present. Voltages with hazardous energy might cause heating when shorted with
metal, which might result in spattered metal, burns, or both.
Attention:
• Read “Installation guidelines” on page 57 to ensure that you work safely.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
Before removing a hot-swap drive:
• Ensure that you have back up data on your drive, especially if it is part of a RAID array.
• Before you make changes to drives, RAID adapters, drive backplanes, or drive cables, back up all
important data that is stored on the drives.
• Before you remove any component of a RAID array, back up all RAID configuration information.
