Data security

Precautions can help preserve data security.

  • Power down your host computer and all attached peripheral devices before beginning installation.
  • Each enclosure contains up to 84 removable disk drive modules. Disk drives are fragile. Handle them with care, and keep them away from strong magnetic fields.
  • All the supplied plug-in modules must be in place for the air to flow correctly around the enclosure and also to complete the internal circuitry.
  • If the enclosure system is used with missing modules for more than a few minutes, the enclosure can overheat, causing power failure and data loss. Such use can also invalidate the warranty.
  • If you remove a drive module, replace it immediately. If it is faulty, replace it with a drive module of the same type and capacity.
  • Ensure that all disk drives are removed from the enclosure before attempting to manhandle or move the rack installation.
  • Do not abandon your backup routines.
