HDD replacement
The unit has two high reliability hard drives fitted as standard, configured as a
redundant RAID 1 volume.
In the event of HDD failure, the failed drive should be positively identified and may be
replaced with an equivalent type and capacity device while the unit is operational.
The recommended replacement drive is the Fujitsu MBB2073RC SAS drive.
The Intel® Web Console 2 utility is accessed via the Windows desktop, and this
provides status information on the RAID volume. When an HDD is replaced by a
blank device, the utility will automatically detect and prepare the replacement drive for
use. It will take a number of minutes to copy data from the other HDD and the
progress of the rebuild activity can be displayed via the “group operations” window.
During the rebuilding process, Web Console 2 will report the RAID volume as
“degraded” (a yellow status icon), meaning that it is temporarily not protected from
HDD drive failure.
A full description of RAID capability can be found in chapter 7 of the Intel® RAID
Software Users Guide at www.intel.com

Battery replacement
The internal battery is not re-chargeable and has a service expectancy of five years
under normal operating conditions. If the battery completely discharges, the system
will continue to operate, however time and date information will be lost when the unit
is turned off.
Please read the important safety information in Appendix B regarding battery
replacement.
2.6
Moving an installed GroomerII system
A GroomerII unit should not be moved while operating. If the system has to be
moved, the power must be disconnected to prevent equipment damage or risk to
operator safety. Please follow the application specific system shutdown procedure
prior to powering down an operating system.
Backup and restore
An option is provided with the GroomerII application software to enable the backup
and restoration of important data and configuration files.
