NOTE: When a STS indicator is lit amber, the corresponding hard disk drive may be faulty. If it is found to be defective, replace it. If your system is configured in redundancy (RAID1), you can replace the faulty drive without interrupting the system operation.
Shock and vibration might damage hard disk drives, causing the loss or corruption of the data and programs recorded on them. So always handle them carefully.
Installing and replacing a hard disk drive requires special techniques and knowledge. So instead of installing or replacing it yourself, ask an authorized MAGNIA service provider for assistance.
An error performed during installation or replacement, especially when the system is running, might result in a system failure and/or the corruption or loss of important data and pro- grams.
Keep hard disk drives free from shock and vibration, especially when they are on. Even if the STS indicator is off, its magnetic head remains in the data area and, if a shock is given, it might destruct the data area.
When the server is switched off, the magnetic head of each hard disk drive automatically retracts. Note that it takes about 30 seconds for a hard disk drive to stop completely.
