CAUTION: If an active hard drive is replaced while the system is powered down, a POST error
message (1786) will occur when the system is powered up. The following prompt will appear:
PRESS <F1> TO BOOT THE SYSTEM AND REBUILD THE REPLACED DRIVE, OR
PRESS <F2> TO BOOT THE SYSTEM WITHOUT REBUILDING THE DRIVE(S).
Pressing F2 will cause permanent data loss to the logical hard drive. Press F2 only if all of the
