Important Notes
Handling Hard Disks
Important Performance and Image 
Data
811
• Once a hard disk fails to function normally, all data that
has been stored on it could be destroyed.
All hard disks eventually wear out.
We recommend that
you consider the hard disk not as a permanent storage site, 
but as a place to store data temporarily. We also 
recommend that you back up important performance and 
image data that cannot be recorded again onto the external 
media that is supported by your device. For instructions on 
how to make such backups, refer to the owner’s manual for 
your device.
Note that Roland assumes no liability whatsoever, 
including monetary compensation, for the loss of any 
recorded content in the event of the malfunction of, or 
physical damage to the hard disk, or for any direct or 
incidental damages resulting from the loss of such data.
Precautions Regarding Setup and 
Use
812
• Certain hard disk setup procedures and usage conditions
may result in the corruption of recorded data, malfunc-
tioning, or physical damage to the disk, so be sure to 
observe the following precautions.
• Do not subject the hard disk to vibration or shock,
especially while the unit is in operation.
• Do not place in locations that experience vibrations,
unstable locations, locations that are not level, or places 
with extremely large sound pressure (110 dB or more, 
see below). 
If recording is impossible due to vibration or sound 
pressure, a message is displayed in advance. (P.21)
• Do not set up the unit in any location where it may be
affected by vibration from external sources, or on any 
surface that is not stable and level.
• If the device includes a cooling fan, ensure that the fan
and the side panel air vents remain unobstructed.
• Do not leave the unit in any environment subject to
temperature extremes; for example, in a closed 
automobile in summer or outdoors during winter.
• Do not use the unit in conditions of high temperature
and humidity or in any location subject to rapid 
temperature changes.
• Do not unplug the power cord or switch off any circuit
breakers in the circuit to which the unit is connected 
while the power is turned on.
• Do not move the unit while the power is turned on or
immediately after turning off the power. When trans-
porting the unit, first turn off the power and confirm 
that the display screen has gone off, disconnect the 
power plug, then wait at least two minutes before 
moving the device.
*
Examples of places with extremely large sound pressure are
under railroad bridges, within 2 meters of an automobile
horn, or near a PA speaker. 
Emergency Procedures
813
*
The following procedures are to be used as emergency mea-
sures only, and are not recommended for normal operation.
• If the device fails to respond to operational commands or
does not complete operations, turn off the power. If the 
power does not shut off following normal shutdown proce-
dures, disconnect the power plug.
If the unit does not operate normally when the power is 
turned on again, it may mean that the hard disk has been 
damaged. In such instances, consult your dealer or the 
nearest Roland Service Center. Note, however, that it may 
not be possible to recover any data from the hard disk once 
it has been lost.
If your device features drive check capabilities, use the 
drive check function to regularly confirm that there are no 
problems, even when the device is operating normally.
For more detailed information on the shutdown and drive 
check procedures, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
