recovery option (see
section "Operating system recovery" on page 69
factory reset is inevitable, requiring at least two hard disk drives (IDs 0
and 1). However, user data stored on additional hard disk drives (IDs 2 and
3) can be preserved as follows:
Ê
Carefully note down your RAID array configuration (RAID level) for the hard
disk drives with IDs 2 and 3.
I
This is a prerequisite for proceeding any further! If you cannot access
your RAID array configuration you will not be able to recreate the
original RAID array and preserve user data stored on the additional
two hard disk drives.
Ê
Terminate all applications and shut down the server.
I
If the server does not shut down properly, press and hold the On/Off
button for five seconds, until the server switches off.
Ê
Disconnect the AC power cord from the system.
Ê
Pull the locking lever and fold out the side cover.
Ê
Unlatch and remove the side cover.
Ê
Loosen the knurled captive screw on the HDD cage and fold open the HDD
cage. The integrated torque controller will safely retain the HDD cage at any
angle.
Ê
Disconnect the SATA data cables of the hard disk drives you want to prevent
from being overwritten (IDs 2 and 3) from the system board. The two SATA
connectors are marked with "SATA 2" and "SATA 3".
Ê
Fold down the drive cage.
I
Ensure that no cables are strained or trapped!
Ê
Secure the drive cage with its knurled captive screw.
Ê
Latch the bottom edge of the side cover to the server chassis.
Ê
Close the side cover until it locks in place.
Ê
Reconnect the AC power cord.
