Hard Drive Replacement Instructions

• In normal operational state, if the LCM “Pri: X” or “Sec: M” and the audio alarm activates, this would indicate that the hard drive may be malfunctioning.
• When this happens, you may choose to disable the audio alarm by pressing the MUTE button located at the front of the system and continue to operate the system normally.
• When finished, you may restart the U33 to double check and see if the drive is in fact malfunctioning. If you are certain that the drive is in fact malfunctioning, follow the instructions below to complete the replacement of the malfunctioning drive.

1. Step 1: Shut off the U33 power. Extract the driveing “X/M” on the LCM from the corresponding drive position and replace it with the new replacement drive. Do not switch the positions of the drives.
2. Step 2: Once the replacement is complete, turn on the power of the U33. When the system completes initialization, the LCM will ask you if you wish to initiate the rebuilding procedure.

Data Rebuild

• During the use of U33, if you are required to replace a malfunctioning drive refer to chapter 6 “Hard Drive Replacement Instructions”.Once drive replacement is complete and you power on the U33, the system will perform data reconstruction.
• The data rebuild processing time is based on the capacity of the drive. During procedures, we suggest to not use the system until the procedure(s) is complete as use of the system during procedures may cause delays to the processing time.Please wait until the procedure(s) has been completed to continue use.
• During the data rebuilding process, the LCM panel will display the percentage progression rate of the rebuild. Below are sample diagrams.
• If during the rebuilding process, a drive malfunctions and is unable to continue the rebuilding process, restart the U33 to check and see that the drive is in fact malfunctioning. If it is, please refer to chapter 6 “Hard Drive Replacement Instructions” to replace the malfunctioning drive.
• Below are sample diagrams of drive malfunctioning.

Note : The next time you turn on the power of the unit, the system will automatically continue to process the remains. Please do not switch position of the drive at any time.
