[. . . ] L Use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) To protect your StorCenter Pro against power loss and/or power surges, an external UPS device is recommended. L Have a spare StorCenter Pro hot-swappable hard drive available The StorCenter Pro has been designed to allow a single hard drive to be replaced during normal operation. As a result, Iomega recommends that you have a spare hard drive available in the event of a hard drive failure. This will permit a faster return to normal performance speeds. [. . . ] replacing the OS Drive Your Iomega StorCenter Pro has an Operating System (OS) that resides on the first drive. In addition, a mirrored copy of the OS has been created on the second drive. Your StorCenter Pro has been configured (RAID 1) so that you can lose any single drive, including an OS drive, and the system will remain operational. In the event of failure of an OS drive, you do not need to shut down your system. Simply remove the failed drive from the system and wait for the system to indicate a successful removal. And wait for the system to restore the OS as well as any RAID volumes that were configured on the original drive. It is very important that the system is NOT shutdown and that no other drives are removed until this restoration is complete. Failure to follow these steps could result in system failure and loss of data!For more information on all of the above items, please refer to the user's manual located on the Solutions CD. recovering the StorCenter Pro from the Recovery DVD CAUTION!This utility will restore the StorCenter Pro to its original factory state.
