HDD - OPERATION
1.
To begin crushing rotational platter hard drives up to 1.85" in thickness ensure that correct anvil is
installed within the crushing chamber. Open the access door and look inside of the crushing chamber,
the proper anvil for HDD crushing is shown below. If the correct anvil is installed go to Step 3.
2.
If the SSD Anvil is installed in lieu of the HDD Anvil, the anvil will need to be changed. To remove the
SSD Anvil see the section within this manual regarding
SSD Maintenance
. Once the SSD Anvil has
been removed see the section regarding
HDD Maintenance
for instructions of how to install the HDD
Anvil. The page numbers for these sections can be found within the Table of Contents.
3.
With the proper HDD Anvil installed, look inside of the crushing chamber, you will see that there are
two channels at the bottom of the chamber, these channels properly align the hard drives to be crushed.
Proper use of these channels will ensure that the anvil is positioned for maximum effectiveness by
piercing/bending the "data holding" platters of the hard drive and not just pushing the center drive hub.
The pictures below provide examples of how different hard drives should be positioned within the
channels of the crushing chamber.
