8.2.1 Handling Hard Disk Drives/HDD Modules
Hard disk drives incorporated in the HDD modules are highly sensitive electro-
magnetic devices and must be handled with great care. It is extremely likely that
incorrect handling will lead to partial and/or total failure of the hard disk drives.
These failures can result in data errors and to a loss of data or to total corruption
of the hard disk drive.
Please observe the following rules, which will help prevent such problems
occurring:
●
Only store and transport HDD modules within the limits stipulated in the
specification.
●
When transporting HDD modules (even over short distances), always use
the original packaging (ESD labeling).
●
Never expose a HDD module to a temperature shock. Avoid the formation of
condensation inside and on the outside of the hard disk drive.
V
CAUTION!
The HDD module must be acclimatized in its operating environment
for a set acclimatization time.
●
Always put the HDD module down carefully, with its largest surface facing
downwards, to avoid the danger of tipping over.
