DISCLAIMERS
Drive Usage:
Sonnet Technologies has qualified specific hard drives for use in
Fusion RX1600RAID storage systems. These drives were chosen
for their superior performance, error handling, and reliability
characteristics, especially when used in RAID groups. One
important difference between these drives and standard hard
drives is how quickly each handles read errors—these qualified
drives attempt to recover from errors for just a few seconds,
while standard hard drives may take minutes. Because RAID
controller cards and software-based RAID schemes allow only
a very short time for drives to recover before dropping them
from the RAID group, hard drive manufacturers recommend
against using standard hard drives in RAID storage systems. The
hard drives qualified by Sonnet also feature improved vibration
characteristics that inuence and support storage reliability. We
recommend the use of these Enterprise/RAID edition hard drives
and select, Sonnet certied desktop hard drives in your Fusion
storage system to ensure system reliability and performance.
STANDARD DRIVES MAY NOT BE SUPPORTED AND MAY
DEGRADE SYSTEM RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE. Check
the Sonnet Web site for the latest list of qualified hard drives.
• If unusual smells, sounds, or smoke come from the device, or if
liquids enter it, switch it off immediately and unplug it from the
electrical outlet.
• Follow the instructions in this manual carefully; contact Sonnet
Customer Service for additional advice not covered in this
User’s Guide.
