[8]. On the right hand side there is optionally the floppy disk drive [9], followed by the DVD ROM drive [11] and
below it the hard disk drive [10].
There are hard disks with parallel ATA (PATA) and serial ATA (SATA) available. They come as standard hard disks,
RAID 1 hard disk system or RAID 5 hard disk system. PATA hard disks might be used in P
ROCESSOR
models
AGS-3328
,
AGS-3389
or
AGS-3390
, SATA hard disks might only be used in P
ROCESSOR
models
AGS-3389
and
AGS-3390
.
The figure above
includes the SATA standard hard disk drive.
The SATA hard disk for
AGS-3389
or
AGS-3390
has on its left side of the front a lock, which prevents from un-
mounting the hard disk unintentionally.
While turning the lock it is easily possible to un-mount the hard disk. Therefore only turn
the lock, if the P
ROCESSOR
is switched off.
Figure 3-2
SATA hard disk
Each SATA RAID 5 hard disk provides three LED’s at the front of the removable frame. If the red LED lightens per-
manently, this indicates that this particular hard disk has failed and should be replaced.
The extensive documentation of the LED codes can be found on the documentation CD of the RAID system.
Please note for the SATA RAID 5 systems:
A hard disk is already switched off by turning the frame lock key!
Never remove more than one hard disk while the system is running. Never remove any hard
disks while the system is in rebuilt mode or switched off. Otherwise the system will crash
and it cannot be restored!
Never change the sequential order of the hard disks. Otherwise the complete data on the
drives will get corrupt and it cannot be restored!
