Safety Information

Personal Safety When Installing the 9690SA RAID Controller in Your Computer

Warning! High voltages may be found inside computer equipment.

Before installing any of the hardware in this package or removing the protective covers of any computer equipment, turn off power switches and disconnect power cords. Do not reconnect the power cords until the hardware is installed and the system cover is closed.

Protecting Equipment and Data

Heat Sink Warning. Do not replace the factory-installed heat sink shipped with the 3ware 9690SA RAID controller. Replacing the heat sink will alter thermal characteristics and cooling requirements and may cause the controller to fail. Replacing the factory-installed heat sink will void the warranty.

Back up your data! Creating or deleting disk arrays destroys existing files on the member drives. If your drives contain valuable data, back them up and save the data elsewhere before attaching the drives to the controller.

ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Precautions

To avoid damaging computer components and accessories when installing or removing the 3ware RAID controller, follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions:

„When your computer case is open and its internal parts are exposed, do not touch any internal part unnecessarily.

„Always wear a grounded strap or work on an ESD-protective mat.

„Do not remove the 3ware RAID controller from its protective bag until you are properly grounded.

„Handle the 3ware RAID controller by its edges or by the metal bracket.

„Do not touch any pin, contact, lead or component on the 3ware RAID controller.
