Maintenance levels | Fujitsu MHV2060AS, MHV2080AS, MHV2040AS

1.1 Maintenance

b)It is recommended that you use the shock absorption cushion material and packaging that contained the device when it was delivered by Fujitsu.

If the same packaging material cannot be used, use a shock absorbent box that will transmit shocks directly to the device. When using this type of box, adequately protect the PCA surface and interface connector section.

c)Place a label showing which side is up and clearly stating the notes on handling on the outside of the packaging.

e.Delivery

a)As a rule, deliver as it is packaged and keep the up side up.

b)If delivering a single drive after it is unpacked, take it only a short distance. Also, use shock absorbent material to protect it against shock and vibration. Deliver an unpacked device in either of the allowable packed positions.

Refer to Section 3.2 of the MHV2080AS, MHV2060AS, MHV2040AS Disk Drives Product Manual.

f.Storage

a)Store in dampproof packaging.

b)Take care that the environmental requirements satisfy the non-operating environmental specifications described in Section 1.4 of the MHV2080AS, MHV2060AS, MHV2040AS Disk Drives Product Manual.

c)To prevent condensation, do not subject the device to sudden changes of temperature.

1.1.3Maintenance levels

Because of its compact size and special repair requirements, it is recommended that the whole disk drive be replaced. This section describes maintenance on two levels.

(1) Field maintenance (disk drive replacement)

•

Replacement at the user site.

Disk drive replacement requires ordinary tools.

Usually, the user, retailer, seller, or OEM trader will replace the drive.

(2) Factory maintenance (parts replacement)

•

Only Fujitsu can perform maintenance at this level.

This includes maintenance training and assisting other OEM traders. The OEM trader usually assists the retailer and seller.

Use the factory level tools and test equipment. This includes recommended spare parts and repairing or replacing various parts.

MHV2060AS, MHV2080AS, MHV2040AS specifications

Fujitsu's MHV series of hard disk drives, specifically the MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, and MHV2060AS models, are designed to deliver efficient performance and reliability for a range of applications, particularly in desktop computing and entry-level servers. Each of these drives adheres to the Serial ATA (SATA) interface, which ensures compatibility across a wide range of systems and is known for its cost-effectiveness and simplicity.

The MHV2040AS features a storage capacity of 40GB, making it suitable for basic computing tasks including document editing, web browsing, and media playback. The MHV2060AS steps it up with a 60GB capacity, allowing for increased data storage needs while still maintaining a high level of performance. The largest of the trio, the MHV2080AS, offers an impressive 80GB of space, positioning it well for users who require additional room for applications, games, and multimedia files.

All drives in this series are equipped with a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, which strikes a balance between speed and power consumption. This speed is adequate for everyday tasks and allows for quick boot times and file access, making them ideal for home and small office environments. Additionally, the drives feature an average latency of 5.5 milliseconds, contributing to their overall performance in retrieving data.

In terms of technology, the MHV series employs a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motor, which not only enhances reliability but also reduces noise levels during operation. The FDB technology helps improve the longevity of the drives by minimizing wear on mechanical components. This characteristic is particularly important for users seeking quieter drives, especially in work environments that require minimal disruption.

The drives also incorporate advanced power management features that significantly reduce power consumption, making them an environmentally friendly choice for users mindful of their carbon footprint. These drives are equipped with energy-saving modes that optimize their performance when not in full use, ensuring lower operational costs and longer lifespan.

Overall, the Fujitsu MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, and MHV2060AS hard drives provide a solid solution for users looking for dependable storage with a range of capacities to fit their needs. Their performance, combined with noise reduction technologies and energy efficiency, makes them a notable choice for various computing environments, from single-user desktops to small business applications.
