NOTE: When a status indicator is lit amber, the correspond-
ing hard disk drive may be faulty. If it is found to be defective,
replace it. If your system has a built-in RAID controller, you
can replace the faulty drive without interrupting the system
operation.
Shock and vibration might damage hard disk drives, causing
the loss or corruption of the data and programs recorded on
them. Therefore, always handle them carefully.
Installing and replacing a hard disk drive requires special
techniques and knowledge. So instead of installing or replac-
ing it yourself, ask an authorized MAGNIA service provider
for assistance.
An error committed during installation or replacement, espe-
cially when the system is running, might result in a system
failure and/or the corruption or loss of important data and pro-
grams.
Keep hard disk drives free from shock and vibration, espe-
cially when they are on. Even if the status indicator is off, its
magnetic head remains in the data area and, if a shock is
given, it might destruct the data area.
When the server is switched off, the magnetic head of each hard
disk drive automatically retracts. Note that it takes about 30 sec-
onds for a hard disk drive to stop completely.
