•
This chapter describes the status monitoring of the ETERNUS DX.
"Chapter 4 Process Time (Estimated)" (page 64)
•
This chapter explains the estimated time that is required for volume formatting and for rebuild/copyback
for each RAID level configuration.
Warning signs are shown throughout this manual in order to prevent injury to the user and/or material damage. These signs are composed of a symbol and a message describing the recommended level of caution.
The following explains the symbol, its level of caution, and its meaning as used in this manual.
The following symbols are used to indicate the type of warnings or cautions being described.
This symbol indicates the possibility of serious or fatal injury if the ETERNUS DX is not
used properly.
This symbol indicates the possibility of minor or moderate personal injury, as well as
damage to the ETERNUS DX and/or to other users and their property, if the ETERNUS DX
is not used properly.
This symbol indicates IMPORTANT information for the user to note when using the ETERNUS DX.
The triangle emphasizes the urgency of the WARNING and CAUTION contents. Inside
the triangle and above it are details concerning the symbol (e.g. Electrical Shock).
The barred "Do Not..." circle warns against certain actions. The action which must be
avoided is both illustrated inside the barred circle and written above it (e.g. No Disassembly).
The black "Must Do..." circle indicates actions that must be taken. The required action is both illustrated inside the black disk and written above it (e.g. Unplug).
To avoid damaging the ETERNUS storage system, pay attention to the
following points when cleaning the ETERNUS storage system:
- Make sure to disconnect the power when cleaning.
- Be careful that no liquid seeps into the ETERNUS storage system
when using cleaners, etc.
- Do not use alcohol or other solvents to clean the ETERNUS storage system.
