8.8 Hard disk
The Panel PC can be equipped with a 2,5’’ SATA Hard Disk Drive (HDD) as order
option.
Hard disk auto detect must be selected and enabled on BIOS Setup (default).
Notice
To avoid hard disk failure or file loss we recommend observing the
following indications.
Never turn the system off when the hard disk indicator led on front is
illuminated.
After shutting the system off, do not turn it back on again until the
hard disk has come to a complete stop (takes about 20 seconds).
Always use the proper power down procedures as required by your
Operating System such as the Shut Down command in
Win2000/WinXP.
Although there is an extremely low possibility of drive malfunction and
data error, the user should provide for their occurrence. The user
should have considerations for data safety and integrity such as data
backup.
Standard hard disks are not suitable to operate 24h x 7 continuously.
The Setup IDE adapter menu allows BIOS to be informed about the
current hard disk in use. Auto detect hard disk option allows the BIOS
to determine the proper settings of the drive, based on the
manufacturer’s information. Avoid manually enter information for a
pre-formatted disk drive. If the specific cylinder, head and sector
information used was different than the manufacturer’s settings the
system will be unable to boot the Operating System.
8.9 Hard disk RAID
The Panel PC can be equipped with two 2,5’’ HDD SATA RAID-1 configuration as
order option.
For information about HDD RAID-1 refer to the specific user’s guide.
Refer also to the motherboard user’s manual.
