HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR HDD
CAUTION:
1. SHOCK
a. Exposing HDD to shock may be the biggest
damaging factor. Please note that HDD is easily
damaged even if dropped from any height. Be sure
to place HDD on a shock-absorbent mat. Also, be
careful when transporting HDD.
b. Be careful not to subject HDD to any shock when
tightening screws for HDD replacement.
(Tighten screws manually, not with an electric
driver.)
2. MOISTURE
a. Moisture may also be a damaging factor. HDD is
semiclosed style. Sudden changes in ambient
temperature may cause moisture to form. Monitor
temperature and do not allow moisture to form on
the media surface. Also, when opening HDD
package, do so only after package is at ambient
temperature.
b. After replacing HDD, leave it to reach room
temperature (about 2 hours) for preventing dew
internal condensation, and then work necessary
task such as operation check.
3. STATIC ELECTRICITY
a. After removing HDD or taking replacement HDD
out of the protective bag (the replacement HDD is
packed in a protective bag), place HDD on a
conductive surface. A grounding band should be
worn when handling.
Both the conductive surface and grounding band
should be grounded.
b. Make sure that HDD is placed on main unit
completely and then let go of it, when assembling.
c. Do not put HDD on a packing bag. (for preventing
electrostatic damage)
4. OTHERS
a. Be careful so as not to do the followings.
Otherwise, HDD might be damaged.
- DO NOT disassemble HDD.
- When handling HDD, be sure to hold both sides
securely.
b. HDD should be stored, packed in the protective
bag, in suitable surroundings (i.e., no extreme
changes in temperature to avoid condensation).
c. When transporting HDD, be sure to use the
exclusive packing case (the replacement HDD
carton).
d. Do not stack HDDs.
e. Do not place vertically because HDD is unstable
and easy to fall.
