7.7 Installing an Internal Hard Disk Unit

This section explains the procedure for installing internal hard disk units.

• The circuit boards and soldered parts of internal options are exposed. They
can be damaged by static electricity. Before handling them, first touch a metal
part of the server to discharge static electricity.
• Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the metallic areas
or the edges of the circuit boards.
• Before removing the unit, turn the pow er off and wait for about 30 seconds until
the disk stops completely.
• Hard disk units may generate resonant sound temporarily after startup. This
does not cause problems.
• In some operating systems, the write cache setting of the har d disk unit can be
changed. However, keep it disabled. If the w rite cache is enabled, the data in
the cache can be lost when a power failure occurs.
• When disposing of, transferring, or returning a hard disk unit, delete the data
stored in it by yourself. For repairs, contact an office listed in the "Contact
Information" of the "Start Guide".
• Use the unit in a dry place with low airborne dust levels.
• Rough handling of the hard disk unit can damage the stored data. To cope with
any unexpected problems, always back up important data. When backing up
data to another hard disk unit, you should make backups on a file or block
basis.
• Take great care so that you do not hit the hard disk or bring it into contact with
metallic objects.
• Do not disassemble the hard disk unit.
• Use or store the unit on a shock-and-vibration free surface.
• Keep the device away from direct sunlight, radiators or other heat sources.
• Do not use or store the unit in a place wher e the temperature is extremely high
or low, or experiences extreme temperature changes.
