Unmounting and Removing the Storage Drives

1. On the spine of each module there is an inset button labeled X1; this button may be custom-configured,

but by default it signals the OS to un-mount the hard drive so that the module may be safely removed.

Users should use a small screwdriver or other sharply tipped instrument to gently depress the X1 button.

WARNING

Do not remove the memory modules without first unmounting the memory drive. Removing the memory

modules prematurely could permanently corrupt any or all stored data,

and force a full reformatting of the

memory drive. Follow t

he steps described here to ensure that your memory drive is removed safely and

securely, without damaging your data.

2. Once the system recognizes the button has been depressed, a notification

box will appear in the Windows system tray (shown at right) informing the

user that the button has been pressed.

3. Once the system has successfully un-mounted the hard drive, another

notification window will appear (shown at right) in the Windows system

tray, informing the user that the disk has been successfully unmounted.

Only now is it safe to remove the memory drive module.

WARNING

Do not remove memory drives until the system has posted notification that they drive has been successfully

unmounted. Removing the drives without first ensuring they have been unmounted will result in corrupted data

that may cause the loss of the entire drive.

Drive Usage Notifications

Administrators may set a notification to signal when a specified amount of memory space on a drive has been

filled. For configuration procedures that describe how to set the drive usage notification, see the

Configuring

Drive Settings Using mxhtspd: Hot Swap section, just below. Once the memory drive has been filled to the

level configured by the administrator, two notifications will appear.

1. On the spine of the module itself, the array of LEDs will uniformly blink three times in succession, and will

continue to do so at approximately one minute intervals for as long as the drive continues to increase its

data storage beyond the configured parameter.

2. On the user’s desktop, a Disk Info notification will appear in the Windows system tray, telling you what

percentage of the disk is currently used, and how much this is greater than the configured notification

level. The notification will be in the format

[total percentage of

drive used] > [user-defined percentage of drive capacity]

The notification should be read as if it were saying “Currently your

total usage is [total percentage of drive used]; this has exceeded the
