Owners Manual

Hard disk drives
Safety: Models AMT, E03J, and E04J
Models AMT, E03J, and E04J are intended for installation only in restricted access locations as defined in cl 1.2.7.3 of IEC 60950-1:2005.
On the basis of your configuration, your enclosure either supports up to up to 12 3.5-inch SAS hard disk drives in internal drive bays. Hard
disk drives are connected to a backplane using hard disk drive carriers and are configured as hot-swappable.
CAUTION: Do not turn off or reboot your enclosure while the hard disk drive is being formatted. Doing so can cause a
hard disk drive to fail.
When you format a hard disk drive, allow enough time for the formatting to complete. High-capacity hard disk drives can take many hours
to format.
