MX-7040N  VARIOUS STORAGE DATA HANDLING  11 – 15
(3)
When the HDD is replaced because of a HDD trouble, do not use a HDD which has been used in a mirroring kit of 
another machine.
Trouble contents
E7-A5 error occurs. If a HDD which has been used in a mirroring kit is used as the machine HDD, the machine does not operate normally.
In this case, the trouble of erasing the original data is avoided.
Countermeasures
Use a new mirroring kit for installation.
If there is no choice but to use a mirroring kit which has been once used, be sure to erase the mirroring information in the HDD before installa-
tion. (For details, refer to "5-C. Deleting the HDD mirroring information.")
When a HDD is used without any other HDD, the mirroring information must be erased before executing SIM62-1 to format.
This procedure allows the HDD being treated as a new HDD.
When removing the HDD after installation of the mirroring kit, remove both HDD's simultaneously. If only one HDD is removed and then
installed again, the data of both HDD's may not match, causing a trouble.
[Simultaneous removal of both HDD's] Disconnect the HDD SATA connector of the MFP PWB, and both HDD's are brought into disconnected
state from the machine.
