3ware Escalade Storage Switch User Guide Protecting equipment and data 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 data elsewhere before changing your array configuration. ESD precautions Standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions must be followed to avoid damaging computer components and accessories when installing or removing the Escalade Storage Switch. • When the case of your computer is open and its internal parts are exposed, don't touch any internal part unnecessarily. • Always wear a grounded strap or work on an ESD-protective mat. • Don't remove the storage switch from its protective bag until you are properly grounded. • Handle the storage switch by its edges or by the black rail and metal bracket at its two ends. • Don't touch any pin, contact, lead or component on the storage switch. Mechanical concerns Be careful when installing the Escalade Storage Switch into your system. Excessive force can damage the board, the cables, your drives or your system. • Be sure the board is aligned with its slot on the motherboard before installing. Do not flex the board excessively. • Interface cable connectors must be mated carefully without bending any pins. The connectors provided are keyed to prevent you from inserting them upside-down. 4 www.3ware.com
