PL-5910 Series User Manual
If the PL is moved when its enclosure doors are open, or while it is installed in a
rack equipped with caster wheels, the hard disk can receive excessive vibration or
jolting. Be especially careful at this time.
• The Hard Disk Drive is precision equipment and should not be moved
or jolted . Especially when the PL is turned ON, even changing the
PL’s direction while it is on a table, or repositioning the unit should
not be performed, since it can lead to a hard disk crash or malfunc-
tion.
• When using a fan to cool the PL unit, be sure that the fan does not
point directly at any of the PL unit’s disk drive units, since it can lead
to a hard disk crash or malfunction.

• Avoid placing the PL next to other devices that might cause overheating.
• Keep the PL away from arc-generating devices such as magnetic switches and
non-fuse breakers.
• Avoid using the PL in environments where corrosive gases are present.
• To ensure the reliability, operability and ventilation of the PL, be sure to install
it in locations that are more than 50mm away from adjacent structures or
equipment. Also, consider the need for installing or removing expansion
boards, or connectors when designing and installing your PL.
