Additional safety information

Observe the following safety measures to help safeguard your data and the Network Server itself:

mTurn the power off before adding drives.

Unless you have installed and are using the Network Server PCI RAID Disk Array card, always shut down the server and turn power off before replacing or adding drives. For more information about adding drives with RAID, check the Network Server PCI RAID Disk Array Card Administrator’s Guide.

mReplace only one drive at a time.

Do not insert more than one drive tray into the front drive bays at the same time.

mEnsure proper ventilation.

To ensure maximum airflow and cooling, don’t leave any drive trays out or panels open while the server is running.

mNever use alcohol-style cleaning cartridges for tape drives. Always use Apple-approved cleaning cassettes or cartridges.
