SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
• Never remove an HDD when the DRIVE status lamp of the HDD is off. Doing so might corrupt the
data stored on the HDD.
• Wear cotton gloves when replacing an HDD to prevent problems caused by static electricity. Not
doing so might result in corruption of the data stored on the HDD.
• Verify correct procedures before starting work. Failure to follow the correct procedures might result
in data stored on an HDD being lost.
• Do not use an HDD previously used in any model as a replacement HDD. If you do, this equipment
might not operate properly or the data on the HDDs might be lost because of configuration
information mismatches or other reasons.
• Install HDDs securely. Loose contacts or missing screws might result in failure.
• During replacement, do not subject an HDD that you are replacing or an HDD that is already
installed to shocks. Subjecting an HDD to shocks might result in drive failure.
• Until rebuilding is complete, avoid shutting off the power to this equipment or installing and
removing HDDs. Performing these actions might result in data on the HDDs being lost or a failure.
• If you apply the recovery method for an offline HDD to an HDD that was set to offline by
something other than the RAS software, the HDD might not be recovered, or even if it is recovered,
the HDD might not work properly.
• Use the recovery method for an offline HDD only to evaluate the equipment. If you apply the
recovery method for an offline HDD to equipment actually used in the field, for example, a system
in normal operation, malfunctions such as data loss might result.
• If an HDD is automatically set to offline by the equipment, the HDD might have failed. Do not
apply the recovery method for an offline HDD to such an HDD.
• An HDD recovered by using the recovery method for an offline HDD must not be used for
equipment actually used in the field. If it is, malfunctions such as data loss might result.
