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.
