Precautions for products with built-in HDD
This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD
is a precision device. If subject to shock, vibration, static
electricity, high temperature or humidity, data loss can
occur. When installing and using the unit, closely observe
the following precautions.
Protect from shocks and vibrations
When subject to shocks or vibrations, the HDD can be
damaged and loss of data on the HDD can occur.
• When transporting the unit, use the specified packing
material. When transporting on a dolly or similar, use a
type which does not transmit excessive vibrations.
Excessive shocks and vibrations can damage the HDD.
• Never move the unit while it is powered. Also before
removing or inserting the unit in a rack, make sure that
power is off.
• Protect all HDD-equipped devices in the rack from
shocks.
• Before removing or inserting the unit in a rack, make
sure that power to any other HDD-equipped devices in
the rack is also switched off.
• Do not remove panels or outer parts of the unit.
• When placing the unit on a floor or other surface, make
sure that the unit is equipped with the specified rubber
feet, and put the unit down carefully. If there are no feet,
mount the rubber feet first.
• Do not place the unit near other devices that may become
a source of vibrations.
Do not turn off power during operation
If you turn off the main power switch on the rear panel of
the unit while the unit is in operational mode, the HDD
may be damaged and loss of data on the HDD may occur.
Always make sure that the unit is in standby mode before
setting the main power switch to the a (off) position to
turn off the power.
Wait for 30 seconds after turning power off
For a brief interval after the power is turned off, the platters
inside the HDD will still keep spinning and the heads will
be in an insecure position. During this interval, the unit is
more susceptible to shocks and vibrations than during
normal operation. For a period of at least 30 seconds after
turning power off, avoid subjecting the unit even to very
light shocks. After this period, the hard disk will be fully
stopped and the unit can be manipulated.
Temperature and humidity related precautions
Use and store the unit only in locations where the specified
temperature and humidity ranges are not exceeded. (Be
sure to use the unit that conforms fully to the specifications
of this unit.)
When HDD seems to be faulty
Even if the HDD is showing signs of malfunction, be sure
to observe all the above precautions. This will prevent
further damage from occurring until the problem can be
diagnosed and corrected.
