The disk drive will be reformatted and made available for
general use.

WARNING: Switching from one configuration to another (changing
from “extra space” to “snapshots,” or vice versa), will wipe out
whatever information is on the second disk drive.

If you have taken a snapshot on the second disk drive, configuring
it as extra space will wipe out the snapshot.

To access the second disk drive, you can use the Windows

®

Explorer to browse to the Magnia SG30, and locate the
directory named “2ndDisk.” Files can be placed in this
directory, and the directory itself can be mapped as a logical
disk drive under the operating system for easier access.

Installing the second disk drive as the primary disk
drive

If you have been using the second disk drive snapshot
feature, you can move the second disk drive to the primary
slot and use it as the primary disk drive. This can be useful if
the primary disk drive has experienced a problem. After
switching the second disk drive in to the primary slot, you
can continue operations with the system as of the last time a
system snapshot was taken.

To install the second disk drive as the primary disk drive:

1

Turn off the Magnia SG30 by pressing the
Power/Shutdown button on the front of the unit, or by
using the system shutdown feature of the Administration
Web site, and disconnect the power cable.

2

Remove the top cover by unscrewing the two
thumbscrews at the rear of the appliance and sliding the
cover back.
