Hard disk drive (HDD)
The disk light flashes green while the disk drive is reading or writing data. Refer to
“
System indicator lights” on page 20 for information on the disk activity indicators.
When the server is turned off, the hard disk drive head automatically retracts and
continues spinning. Wait 30 seconds for the drive head to stop spinning before removing
the hard disk drive.
CAUTION: Installing or replacing the HDD requires special skills and knowledge.
Toshiba recommends that instead of replacing the hard disk drive yourself, you
contact an authorized service provider to do it for you. While the system is running,
an error in the course of installing or replacing it could cause failures and
destruction or loss of important programs and data.
Avoid exposing the server to shock or vibration while the power is on. Even if the
light is off, the hard disk drive head stays in the data area while the disk is spinning.
