Safety Cautions
• Be sure to check that the PS-A/PS-B
unit’s power is disconnected before
installing the unit, in order to prevent
an electrical shock.
• Do not attempt to modify or open the
HDD unit, since it can cause a shock or
fire.
• When installing the HDD unit, be sure
to read this guide "Installation" sec-
tion's information completely to insure
that the unit is correctly installed.
To Prevent Accidents
• Since the HDD unit is a precision instru-
ment, be sure it is neither hit by nor
pressed strongly against another object.
After unpacking, be sure the unit is not
dropped or jolted during installation. Also,
a PS-A/PS-B unit built in to a larger unit
(i.e. operation panel) should be removed
and packed separately prior to shipping.
• Be sure water, liquids or metal particles are
not allowed to enter the HDD unit. Any of
these may cause either a breakdown or an
electrical shock.
• Do not place or store this unit in a location
where there is direct sunlight, excessive
heat, dust or vibration.
• Do not store or operate this unit near chem-
icals, or where there are chemical fumes.
• Do not allow anyone other than Pro-face’s
own service staff to perform maintenance
or adjustments to this unit.
• Do not move or shift the PS-A/PS-B unit
while the HDD unit is installed and the PS-
A/PS-B unit's power is ON.
• Do not use the HDD unit in locations
where corrosive gasses are present, since
they can lead to a hard disk breakdown.
• To prevent the data damage, be sure to shut
down the PS-A/PS-B unit’s OS according
to the correct procedure before turning
OFF the main power.
• To prevent HDD memory leaks, restart the
OS periodically.
• The hard disk has the lifetime. To use it
longer by steady operation, read the
attached “Instructions for Using the Hard
Disk” carefully.
• In order to extend the lifetime of the hard
disk, Pro-face recommends you set the
Windows
®
[Control panel]-[Performance
and Maintenance]-[Power Management
option]-[Turn off hard disks] selection to
turn the hard disk off when the unit is not
being operated. A setting of 5 minutes is
recommended.
