Error LED
Red if a drive has failed.

Status LEDs
Green: Normal operation.
Glowing red: If a drive’s status LED is glowing red, the drive has malfunctioned. Dismount the drive in Buffalo Dashboard
before unplugging it from the TeraStation.
Notes:
• Do not unplug a drive whose status LED is not lit red. If you remove the drive without properly dismounting it,
data may be lost or the TeraStation may malfunction.
• When changing drives, the replacement drive should be a Buffalo OP-HDS series drive of the same size.
• The TeraStation is fragile. Handle it with care. Do not drop or bump the TeraStation.
• Use caution when handling the unit in order to avoid personal injury.
• Never disassemble any parts while you are replacing a hard drive unless instructed to do so in this manual. Any
malfunction or damage caused by disassembling the TeraStation will void your warranty.
• To avoid damaging the TeraStation with static electricity, ground yourself by touching something made of metal
before handling any sensitive electronic parts.
• Do not change the order of the hard drives in the TeraStation. For example, pulling out drive 1 and replacing it
with drive 2 may cause data to be corrupted or lost.
• In a RAID 1 configuration, the boot drive (C:) consists of the first and second hard drives from the top. Do not
replace both of these hard drives at the same time.
• If a hard drive is replaced while saving a file, the file can be corrupted. Be sure that the saving operation is com-
pleted before replacing the hard drive.

If you used Disk Management to mirror the boot drive, the TeraStation will not boot when the drive fails.
