Personal Safety When Installing the 9650SE RAID
Controller in Your Computer
Protecting Equipment and Data
Warning!
High voltages may be found inside computer
equipment.
Before installing any of the hardware in this package or
removing the protective covers of any computer equipment, turn
off power switches and disconnect power cords. Do not
reconnect the power cords until the hardware is installed and the
system cover is closed.
Heat Sink Warning.
Do not replace the factory-installed heat
sink shipped with the 3ware 9650SE RAID controller. Replacing
the heat sink will alter thermal characteristics and cooling
requirements and may cause the controller to fail. Replacing the
factory-installed heat sink will void the warranty.
Back up your data!
Creating or deleting disk arrays destroys
existing files on the member drives. If your drives contain
valuable data, back them up and save the data elsewhere
before attaching the drives to the controller.
