Winner 3A WA31273A / WA32543A /
WA33203A / WA32163A / WA31083A, Winner 2A WA32162A.
(5) Do not touch the components on the PCB.
(6) Observe the environmental limits specified for this product as listed in section 3.6.
(7) If it becomes necessary to move your computer system, turn off the power to
automatically park the heads. Parking the heads moves the heads to a safe, non-data
landing zone and locks the heads in place. This helps prevent the media and the
heads from accidental damage due to vibration, moving or shipping. Do not move
the drive for 20 seconds after removing DC power to ensure that the actuator is
completely locked.
(8) Back up your data regularly. SAMSUNG assumes no responsibility for loss of data.
