USER MANUAL NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE IOMEGA

Network Attached Storage Hard Drive Replacement Thank you for purchasing an Iomega® NAS server. Your Iomega NAS has replaceable hard drives for increased data accessibility and ease of maintenance. To enhance your experience with your Iomega NAS, it is very important to become familiar with the basics of drive handling. During Normal Operation Always:

Back up your Iomega NAS As with any computer hardware or peripheral, it is highly recommended that you back up your NAS device. A backup can be performed over a TCP/IP network.

Use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) To protect your NAS device against power loss and/or power surges, an external UPS device is recommended.

Have a spare Iomega NAS hard drive available Your NAS device has been designed to allow a single hard drive to be replaced after the unit has been shut down. 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.

Enable email alert notifications Your NAS device has been designed with an email alert notification system. During initial device setup, specify the administrator’s email address and an appropriate SMTP server. In the Event of a Hard Drive Failure Always:

Verify the failed hard drive number Before removing a hard drive, verify the location of the failed drive by checking email notifications, administration UI alerts and logs, and the status LEDs on the front of your Iomega NAS. If any drive in addition to the failed drive is removed, data loss will result! CAUTION! Always shutdown your Iomega NAS before removing a hard drive. Failure to shutdown your Iomega NAS will result in data loss! Never: Remove more than one hard drive at a time In RAID 1 and RAID 5 data protection modes, your Iomega NAS device can continue operating after a single drive failure. Do NOT remove any other drive while there is a failed drive in the system or while the replacement drive is being restored. Interrupt the system rebuild process After inserting the replacement drive, you MUST allow the RAID volume to restore. Active restoration is indicated by either a flashing power/status LED and continuous hard drive activity, or by continuous hard drive activity. During the rebuild process, do NOT remove any of the hard drives or power down the Iomega NAS device. This process may take many hours depending on the capacity of the RAID volume and the amount of data that is being restored. Replacing a Non-OS hard drive In the event of a drive failure, you can quickly and easily a replace drive. Simply shut down the Iomega NAS and replace the damaged drive. When using RAID 1 or 5, all data on the defective drive will be restored. CAUTION! Use Iomega replacement drives only! Failure to use Iomega drives will void your warranty. Before you replace a drive: CAUTION! The Iomega NAS will restore your data on RAID 1 and 5 systems. Replacing the wrong hard drive will result in data loss. Always verify you are replacing the damaged drive.

Double click the Iomega NAS in the Iomega NAS Discovery utility.

Log onto the Iomega NAS.

Click Administer this server appliance.

Log onto the Iomega NAS.

Click on Disks and Volumes. This will launch Terminal Services.

Log onto the Iomega NAS.

Terminal Services will open with the Disk Management tool open.

Check Disk Management for a failed hard drive.

Replace only the damaged drive! To Replace a Hard Drive: Follow these instructions to replace any single hard drive in your Iomega NAS. CAUTION! Never replace more than one hard drive at a time.

Determine which drive has failed. Follow the steps above or check the System Log if you are unsure.

Shut down the Iomega NAS.

Open the front door of the Iomega NAS.

Press in on the latch.

Pull the lever to eject the drive. Ejecting the drive automatically unplugs the power and data connector.

Slide the drive completely out of the bay.

Slide the replacement drive into the open bay. CAUTION! Use Iomega replacement drives only! Failure to do so will void your warranty.

Once the drive assembly is in, push the eject lever forward until it locks into place.

Start up the Iomega NAS. After inserting a new drive, the Iomega NAS performance will be degraded until the RAID has been rebuilt. RAID 5 configurations may take up to 8 hours to rebuild your data. CAUTION! Shutting down or restarting the Iomega NAS during the rebuild process will cause irreparable damage to your data or the Iomega NAS operating system. Recovering the Iomega NAS from the Iomega NAS Recovery DVD CAUTION! This utility will restore the Iomega NAS to its original factory state. All data will be lost! Make sure your data is backed up before proceeding.

Connect a monitor, USB keyboard, and a USB DVD drive to the Iomega NAS.

Insert the Iomega NAS Recovery disc into the DVD drive and boot the Iomega NAS.

The Iomega NAS Recovery utility will run automatically. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Reboot the Iomega NAS and disconnect the keyboard and DVD drive. NOTE: If you are unable to disconnect the keyboard and DVD drive before the Iomega NAS reboots, let the Iomega NAS boot completely into the recovery environment and then select cancel. The Iomega NAS will reboot and you can then unplug the keyboard and DVD drive.

Allow the Iomega NAS to finish the automated rebuild process. The NAS will restart several times during this process. Do NOT disturb or shutdown the NAS during this process. The Iomega NAS will shutdown automatically when the rebuild is complete. Replacing the OS Drive If you need to replace the OS Drive, please contact Iomega Technical Support. An Iomega Technical Service Representative will help you order a replacement OS drive and provide you with step-by-step replacement instructions. Copyright © 2005 Iomega Corporation.
