7. HANDLING OF ADDITIONAL DISK ENCLOSURE This chapter describes how to handle the additional disk enclosure.
7.1 Notes on Handling of Additional Disk Enclosure
Note the following in use of the additional disk enclosure. Invalid handling of the
additional disk enclosure may cause it to be defected and/or some data to be broken.
If the HDD READY LED (green) blinks, the disk access operation is
indicated on the host system, or the initialization is being operated, d o not
turn on/off the powers of the additional disk enclosure. Do not reset the
host system.
If the HDD READY LED (green) is lit or blinks and the disk access
operation is indicated on the host system, do not give vibrations and
shocks to the additional disk enclosure.
Because the additional disk enclosure is a precision d evice, it shall not be
subject to hard vibration or shock.
The features of the additional disk enclosure are effective onl y for the
hardware failure (e.g., the hard disk is physically damaged or inoper ative).
The software failure (e.g., the data is lost or rewritten due to program
excursion) is not covered by these features. When the software failure wou ld
occur, the system could seriously be damaged. To minimize the damage, be
sure to back up the data periodically.
It is recommended that important files are backed up to magnetic tapes. T his
enables the damage to be minimized in case of emergency including su dden
vibration or shock and power shutdown caused by power interruption.
