6.2.3 Preventive maintenance
No preventive maintenance is required.
6.2.4 Service life
The drive has a useful service life of five years. Depot repair or replacement
of major parts is permitted during this period.
6.2.5 Service philosophy
Special equipment is required to repair the drive HDA. To achieve the 5-year
service life, repairs must be performed only at a properly equipped and
staffed service and repair facility. Troubleshooting and repair of PCBs in the
field is not recommended because of the extensive diagnostic equipment
required for effective servicing. Also, there are no spare parts available for
this drive. The drive warranty is voided if the HDA is opened.
6.2.6 Installation
The drive is designed, manufactured, and tested with a “plug in and play”
installation philosophy. This philosophy minimizes the requirements for
highly trained personnel to integrate the drive into the OEM’s system,
whether in a factory or field environment. Refer to the
Barracuda 4 Installation
Guide (83328870) for installation instructions.
The drive has been low-level formatted at the factory and does not need to
be reformatted.
6.2.7 Service tools
No special tools are required for site installation or recommended for site
maintenance. Refer to Section 6.2.3. The depot repair philosophy of the drive
precludes the necessity for special tools. Field repair of the drive is not
practical because users cannot purchase individual parts for the drive.
