MX-7040N  VARIOUS STORAGE DATA HANDLING  11 – 12

• When replacing the mirroring kit, follow the replacement proce-

dures of the HDD of the mirroring kit only.

NOTE: When E7-03 error code is popped up, procedures of Step 1

and Step 2 are nor required.

When replacing the HDD for the mirroring kit, be sure to use a new
HDD.

If a HDD which has been used in a mirroring kit is used for replac-
ing the HDD, the operations and the data cannot be assured.

If a HDD which has been used in a mirroring kit is installed, the
original data may be erased.

If, however, the mirroring information of the HDD is erased by RIB
Buster as described later, it can be used. (*1) In addition, if the both
HDD's are replaced with HDD's which have been used, SIIM62-1
must be executed to format HDD's in addition to erasing the mirror-
ing information.

When removing the HDD after installing the mirroring kit, be sure to
remove the both HDD's together.

If only one HDD is removed then it is reinstalled, the data of both
HDD's may not be identical, causing an error.

When removing the HDD and performing some work, first discon-
nect the HDD SATA connector of the MFP PWB and perform the
work.

With the above procedure, the both HDD's are brought into the sta-
tus disconnected from the machine.

Put mark on the mirroring kit HDD and the machine HDD to indi-
cate that they have been used. (*2)

*1: Refer to "5-C. Deleting the HDD mirroring information."

*2: Refer to "5-B. How to check the usage history of a HDD in a 

  mirroring kit."

Step 1

Back up the data in the HDD before replacement. (By 
servicing) 
Use SIM56-2, the device cloning, or the storage backup 
function to save the data. (Back up the data to the PC or a 
USB memory.) 
(Data which can be backed up: Address book data, image 
send registration data, user authentication data)

Step 2

Back up the data in the HDD before replacement. (By the 
user or by servicing)
Back up the data to the PC by Web page. 
(Data which can be backed up: Document filing data, JOB 
log data)

Step 3

When there is some received data of FAX and Internet FAX, 
use SIM66-62 to back up the image data from the HDD 
(BACKUP DATA) to a USB memory. (The backed up image 
data are in the PDF file type and cannot be returned to the 
machine.) Give the backed up data to the use.

Condition

When a new HDD (blank)(*1) (service part) is used.

Step 4

If HDD1 is in trouble, replace the HDD of the machine. If 
HDD2 is in trouble, replace the HDD of the mirroring kit. (*2)

Step 5

Boot the machine. 
 Rebuilding is automatically executed.
 Check to confirm that E7-03 error (HDD trouble) does not 
occur, and that the UI icon which indicates rebuilding of the 
mirroring kit is displayed. Use SIM 62-20 to confirm that the 
status of the replaced HDD is displayed as REBUILDING.

Step 6

It takes about three hour to complete rebuilding. 

Step 7

Check to confirm that the UI icon which indicated installation 
of the mirroring unit is displayed. Use SIM62-20 to confirm 
that the HDD status is displayed as HDD1/HDD2=OK/OK.

Step 1

When there is some received data of FAX and Internet FAX, 
use SIM66-62 to back up the image data from the SD Card 
(ORIGINAL DATA) to a USB memory. (The backed up 
image data are in the PDF file type and cannot be returned 
to the machine.) Give the backed up data to the use.

Condition

When two new HDD's (blank)(*1) (service part) are used for 
the both.

Step 2

Replace the both HDD's (as well as the RAID PWB if 
necessary). (*2)

Step 3

Set DIPSW1 of the mirroring kit to 
ON, and turn on the main power of 
the machine. 
 Forcible rebuilding is executed. 
 Check to confirm that the E7-03 
error (HDD trouble) does not occur 
and that the UI icon which 
indicates installation of the 
mirroring kit is displayed. Use 
SIM62-20 to confirm that the HDD 
status is displayed as HDD1/
HDD2=OK/OK.

Step 4

Turn OFF the main power of the 
machine, and set DIPSW2 to OFF. 
Then, turn ON the main power of 
the machine again.

Step 5

Use SIM66-10 to clear the FAX image memory. The memory 
is cleared in order to ensure consistency between the HDD 
data and the image memory and to prevent against 
malfunctions. (Not only the FAX model, but also the scanner 
and the Internet FAX models require memory clearing.)

Step 6

Use SIM49-3 to install the e-Operation Manual data to the 
HDD. 

Step 7

The trouble code "U2-60" is displayed. 
 Use SIM49-5 to install the watermark data to the HDD. 
 Use SIM16 to cancel the U2-60 error.
