6.3.6 Installing and removing an HDD
When you install or remove a HDD, make sure you do not cut your fingers on the
protrusions.
Put the HDD on a shock-absorbing material such as an antistatic cushion even
for a temporary task. If you put an HDD directly on a hard surface such as a
desktop, a failure or a shorter life span of the unit or loss of data may result due
to possible jarring or shock.
Never remove the screws on an HDD while the power to the unit is on. Never
hot-swap HDDs. If you do either of these, failure of the equipment or the drive
may result.
Before you replace an HDD, make sure you shut down the OS, unplug the
power cord from the outlet, and wait for at least one minute.
In the D model (RAID 1 hot swap model), when you replace an HDD to recover
form a failure in one HDD with the power of the equipment turned on, see
"10.4.2 Recovery from a failure in one HDD".
Install or remove an HDD only if necessary, for example, when you need to
replace an HDD due to failure. If you do it frequently, failure of the equipment
may result.
Fully insert an HDD. Loose contact and missing screws may result in failure.
Do not give a shock to an installing HDD and the already mounted HDD
during installing. If you give a shock to an HDD, failure of the drive may result.
