soldering on the backside of components may cause severe injury.

Only use compatible devices with the system ports, or the system and devices risk being damaged.

Related to damage to the HDD and data:

- during installation or disconnection of the system, ensure that the system does not experience any

external physical shocks.

- During the operation of the HDD, short surges and stoppages of power may cause the system to turn off

and on quickly.

- there may be a sudden stoppage of electricity during operation

- avoid moving the system during operation of the HDD, which may cause external physical shock

- during the conﬁguration of new volumes.

i) if during use, existing volumes are deleted and new volumes are created, data will be lost.

ii) Before conﬁguration of new volumes, each user must back up data, as well as when creating new

volumes, to ensure the possibility of restoration.
