fields, such as televisions or loudspeakers.

It may cause a malfunction or disk failure.

z Turn off the power before moving the unit enclosing the SATA Mirror Drive to avoid vibration or

shock.

It may cause a malfunction or disk failure.

z If the power is turned on and off repeatedly for a short period of time, this may damage the spindle

motor and head of the drive which may shorten its service life. If you turn off the power, wait some

time (about 15 seconds) for the media inside the drive unit to stop before turning it on again.

Important

z Back up all important data stored in the SATA Mirror Drive to a suitable storage medium such as

tape drive or optical medium. The Mirror Drive’s mirroring technology prevents data loss even if

one drive unit fails. However, if two drive units fail at the same time or if a non-redundant component

fails, data loss may still occur. Additionally, accidental deletion of data or equipment damage may

also result in data loss

z Do not block the hole ventilation on the surface of the HDD. Lack of cooling airflow may lead to hard

disk drive failure or malfunction.

z The cache memory of the installed drives is enabled (as default factory setting). Except in

emergencies, make sure to follow the operating system's proper shutdown procedure or wait at

least 10 seconds after the access indicator has stopped flashing before turning off the power.

Failure to do so may result in loss of data in the drive’s cache memory.

z Each drive unit is managed through serial number. Do not remove or exchange the drive units,

except only when replacing a failed controller unit or drive unit. It may result in a boot up failure of

the host computer

z Use the mounting screws provided to firmly secure the SATA Mirror Drive in the mounting bay

inside the host computer (0.49 Nm torque is recommended)
