The inside of the AIT Library contains precision
components. Therefore, damage may result if you do not
install and remove the expansion drive in the correct
manner. In the event of damage, a charge will be
assessed for repair
The AIT Drive Kit can be housed and used in the AIT
library. Because the AIT drive supports hot swapping,
AIT drives can be added or exchanged while the power
is on.
There are two different types of AIT Drive Kits. When
using two AIT drives in the same AIT library, make sure
that both drives are of the same format.
