Protecting Equipment and Data
Backing Up Data
Creating or deleting disk arrays destroys existing data on the drives.
Always back up the data on the drives and save it to a server or hard-drive
before attaching the drives to the controller.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Static electricity can destroy sensitive electronic components inside a
computer. Follow these procedures to prevent damage due to ESD:
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from the shipping carton,
do not remove the component from the anti-static bag until you are
ready to install the component. Before you unwrap the anti-static
packaging, touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge static
electricity from your body.
• When transporting a static-sensitive component, place it in an anti-static
container or packaging
• Before touching any computer part, discharge any static charge your
might have accumulated. Wear an ESD strap, stand on an ESD mat, or
periodically touch an unpainted metal surface, such as the card-slot
openings of the computer chassis.
IMPORTANT: The top and side surfaces of the MV U320-RX is
painted, not metallic. It is safe to touch them.
• Do not remove the MV U320-R or MV U320-RX from its protective bag
until you are properly grounded.
• Handle the MV U320-R or MV U320-RX by its edges.
• Do not touch any pin or connector on the MV U320-R or MV U320-RX.
