Chapter 6 Installing Internal Options
6.6 Installing Internal Hard Disk Units
This section explains how to install internal hard disk units.
`
When installing additional hard disk units, perform the installation procedures once the server is turned
off after OS installation.
• When installing or removing internal hard disk units, turn off the server, all
peripheral devices, and any other connected devices. Also unplug all power
cables from the outlet. (

"1.4.4 Turning Off the Server" (pg.35))
However, when the array system is configured (except for RAID 0), the defect
hard disk unit can be replaced without turning off the server.
• When the hard disk unit is starting up, you may hear a resonant noise for a
while, but this does not mean a failure.
• Depending on the OS, you can configure the write cache settings for the hard
disk. However, disable the write cache for use in this server. If the power
failure should occur while the write cache is enabled, cached data may be
lost.
• When disposing of, transferring, or returning a hard disk unit, wipe out the
data on the hard disk for your own security. Contact an office listed in the
"Contact Information" of "Start Guide" regarding repairs of the hard disk units.
• Rough handling of hard disk units can damage the stored data. To cope with
any unexpected problems, always back up important data. When backing up
data to another hard disk drive, you should make backups on a file or partition
basis.
• Use the unit at a low humidity place with low dust levels.
• Be careful not to hit the hard disk unit or bring it into contact with metallic
objects.
• Use and store the unit in an environment free from shocks and vibrations.
• Keep the unit away from direct sunlight and from radiators or other heat
sources.
• Do not use or store the unit in extremely hot or cold location, or locations with
extreme temperature changes.
• Do not disassemble hard disk units.
