Appendix A: Drive Roaming Drive Roaming Drive roaming occurs when the hard drives are changed to different ports on the same controller. When the drives are placed on different ports, the controller detects the RAID configuration from the configuration data on the drives. Note: If you move a drive that is currently being rebuilt, the rebuild operation will restart, not resume. To use drive roaming, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the power to the system, all drives, enclosures, and system components.

Appendix B: Installation/Assembly Safety Instructions As you use your computer system, observe these safety guidelines: • Do not operate your computer system with any cover(s) (such as computer covers, bezels, filler brackets, and front-panel inserts) removed. • To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location.
Additional safety guidelines: • When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
