Hard Drive Replacement Examples - Buffalo WS5600D User Manual

• When changing drives, the replacement drive should be a Buffalo OP-HDS series drive of the same size.
• The TeraStation is fragile. Handle it with care. Do not drop or bump the TeraStation.
• Use caution when handling the unit in order to avoid personal injury.
• Never disassemble any parts while you are replacing a hard drive unless instructed to do so in this manual. Any
malfunction or damage caused by disassembling the TeraStation will void your warranty.
• To avoid damaging the TeraStation with static electricity, ground yourself by touching something made of metal
before handling any sensitive electronic parts.

with drive 2 may cause data to be corrupted or lost.
• The boot drive (C:) consists of the mirrored volume and a portion of the two drives from the top. Do not replace
both of these hard drives at the same time.
• If a hard drive is replaced while saving a file, the file can be corrupted. Be sure that the saving operation is
completed before replacing the hard drive.
