Hard drive status

The Magnia SG20 hard drives are “SMART” drives. They
have built in capabilities to self-monitor performance. They
use this information to detect subtle changes in performance
and predict if the drive is likely to fail in the future. If a
failure is predicted for a drive, this will be displayed in the
health status section of the Administration Web site as well as
the LCD.

If the health status system indicates there is a problem with a
hard drive, stop using the server immediately. If possible,
perform a backup of the current user files on the hard drive,
and contact Toshiba or your supplier to obtain a replacement
disk.

Fan status

The Magnia SG20 uses several internal fans to assure that it
is cooled properly. These fans are monitored to make sure
they are operating properly. If one of the fans slows below an
acceptable RPM, or stops spinning, the health monitoring
system will detect the failure and alert you on the LCD panel
and in the Administration Web site.

If a fan fails, it does not mean there is an immediate problem
with your Magnia SG20 – if the room is cooled and the unit is
properly ventilated, the server can continue operation for
some time. However, if a fan fails, it is best to perform a
backup of all user data, and contact Toshiba or your supplier
to have the unit repaired or replaced.

If you choose to continue running the unit when a fan failure
is displayed, carefully monitor the temperature of the unit to
make sure it does not go too high.
