Buffalo WS5400R0804-EU [25/67] Error led

1. Error LED

Glows red if a drive has failed.

2. Status LEDs

Green:

Normal operation.

Flashing red:

If you need to remove a drive whose status LED is flashing red, either shut down the TeraStation, or dismount the drive

in RAID Builder. Once the TeraStation is shut down, or the drive is dismounted, then it is safe to replace the drive.

Glowing red:

If a drive’s status LED is glowing red, the drive has malfunctioned and may be hot-swapped.

Notes:

• Do not unplug a drive whose status LED is not lit red. If you remove the drive without properly dismounting it,

data may be lost or the TeraStation may malfunction.

• When changing drives, the replacement drive should be a Buffalo OP-HDS series drive of the same size.

• The TeraStation is fragile. Handle it with care. Do not drop or bump the TeraStation.

• Use caution when handling the unit in order to avoid personal injury.

• Never disassemble any parts while you are replacing a hard drive unless instructed to do so in this manual. Any

malfunction or damage caused by disassembling the TeraStation will void your warranty.

• To avoid damaging the TeraStation with static electricity, ground yourself by touching something made of metal

before handling any sensitive electronic parts.

• Do not change the order of the hard drives in the TeraStation. For example, pulling out drive 1 and replacing it

with drive 2 may cause data to be corrupted or lost.

• In a RAID 1 configuration, the boot drive (C:) consists of the first and second hard drives from the top. Do not

replace both of these hard drives at the same time.

• If a hard drive is replaced while saving a file, the file can be corrupted. Be sure that the saving operation is com-

pleted before replacing the hard drive.

Hard Drive Replacement Examples

Note: If you used Disk Management to mirror the boot drive, the TeraStation will not boot when the drive fails.
