Return the Component

Restarting Backups

Use your backup software to restart any backup processes that had been running to the replaced drive. This restart ensures that the software recognizes the drive as working and available.

RETURN THE COMPONENT

Return Guidelines

Unless Spectra Logic Technical Support informs you otherwise, return the defective component to Spectra Logic following the guidelines in the next section. If Spectra Logic Technical Support informs you that the component does not need to be returned, dispose of it in a manner appropriate for your company guidelines.

Return Procedures

After you complete the replacement procedure, return the defective component using ALL the packaging that the replacement component arrived in (including any anti‐static bags or foam inserts).

Severe damage can occur if the component is not packaged correctly, and you may Caution be invoiced if it is received with damage due to improper or insufficient packaging.

Use the return label and instructions that were included with the replacement component when preparing to ship the replacement part. If you cannot locate these, contact Spectra Logic for another copy (see Contacting Spectra Logic on page 2). The return label and RMA printed on it are used to associate the returned part with your account. To avoid being invoiced for failure to return the part, do not ship the part back without the RMA return label.
