7 Hard disk drives (HDDs)
Safety notes
V CAUTION!
● Before removing several HDD/SSD modules, make sure that all
HDD/SSD modules can be reinstalled into their original bay.
Otherwise, data may be lost.
● Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold circuit
boards by their metallic areas or edges.
● Before removing an HDD, wait for about 30 seconds until the disk has
stopped spinning completely.
● When an HDD 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 HDDs. If a power failure should occur while the write cache is
enabled, cached data may be lost.
● When disposing of, transferring, or returning an HDD or SSD, wipe
out the data on the drive for your own security.
● Rough handling of HDDs may damage the stored data. To cope with
any unexpected problems, always back up important data. When
backing up data to another HDD, you should make backups on a file
or partition basis.
● Be careful not to hit the HDD or bring it into contact with metallic
objects.
● Handle the HDD and SSD on a shock and vibration free surface.
● Do not use the HDD and SSD in extremely hot or cold locations, or
locations with extreme temperature changes.
● Never attempt to disassemble the HDD or SSD.
● For further safety information, see chapter "Important information" on
page 29.
