TITAN SILICONSERVER HARDWARE MANUAL 7
Data Security
• Each storage enclosure contains multiple removable Hard Disk Drive (HDD) modules. These
units are fragile. Handle them with care and keep them away from strong magnetic fields.
• All supplied plug-in modules and blanking plates must be in place to complete the internal
circuitry and enable air to flow correctly around an enclosure.
• Using the system for more than a few minutes with modules or blanking plates missing can
cause an enclosure to overheat, leading to power failure and data loss. Such use may invalidate
the warranty.
• A loss of data may occur if a hard drive module is removed. Immediately replace any modules
that are removed. If a module is faulty, replace it with one of the same type, of at least the
same capacity and speed.
• Always shut down a server before it is moved, switched OFF, or reset.
• Maintain backup routines.
• FC-14 and SA-14 storage enclosures are fitted with optical SFP transceivers manufactured by
JDS Uniphase. Other storage enclosures (FC-16, AT-14 and AT-42) are fitted with SFPs
manufactured by Finisar or Infineon. To ensure proper operation of the Titan Storage System,
BlueArc recommends that the JDS SFPs are only used in FC-14 storage enclosures and Finisar
or Infineon SFPs are used in all the other storage enclosures (FC-16, AT-14, AT-42).
• Do not abandon backup routines. No system is completely foolproof.
