1.1.1 Rules for maintenance

The following cautions must be observed to prevent injury during troubleshooting or maintenance.

Static, Damage

1.Don’t install or remove a PCA or connect or disconnect a cable or connector plug when the drive is powered. This may give you an electric shock.

2.Keep away from mechanical assemblies in the unit during operation. This may cause injuries.

3.Avoid dangerous detergent when the disk drive is cleaned.

The following cautions must be observed to avoid damaging the disk drive during troubleshooting and maintenance.

Device damage

1.Before touching a PCA or the drive, wear a wrist strap and perform the human body grounding to discharge static electricity from your body. This will prevent irreparable damage to the PCA and the head of the drive.

2.Don’t install or remove a PCA or connect or disconnect a cable or connector plug when the drive is powered. This will prevent electrical damage to the disk drive.

3.Operating the disk drive with one or more PCA missing will be unpredictable. Only power the drive with all boards installed.

4.Avoid any detergent which may cause short circuits when cleaning assemblies.

5.Keep all vents open opened and unblocked. Avoid other conditions which may cause circuits to overheat.

6.A ribbon type cable has one line marked. Ensure that this line is always connected to pin 1 of the cable connector.

7.Do not apply excessive force to the cover under any circumstances. Doing so may cause irreparable damage to the cover.

MHS2060AT, MHS2020AT, MHS2040AT, MHS2030AT specifications

Fujitsu is renowned for its contributions to the hard drive industry, and among its noteworthy offerings are the MHS2040AT, MHS2020AT, MHS2030AT, and MHS2060AT models. These hard disk drives (HDDs) are designed primarily for mobile computing applications and provide a balance of performance, reliability, and storage capacity.

The Fujitsu MHS2040AT is a 40GB hard drive that utilizes the IDE interface for connectivity. With an average seek time of 12 ms and a rotational speed of 4200 RPM, it delivers reasonable performance for everyday tasks. The drive integrates advanced technologies such as Shock Sensor technology that helps to protect the drive from physical shocks, ensuring the integrity of data even in portable devices. Furthermore, its low power consumption makes it an excellent candidate for laptops and mobile devices, allowing for longer battery life without compromising speed.

In contrast, the MHS2020AT offers a slightly lower storage capacity of 20GB but retains many of the same features as the MHS2040AT. This drive is ideal for users with less demanding storage requirements, while still providing efficient performance for standard mobile applications. The reliability features inherent in Fujitsu’s design philosophy, including a high tolerance to shock and vibration, are also present in this model.

The MHS2030AT presents a middle-ground option with a capacity of 30GB. Like its counterparts, it supports the IDE interface and is characterized by a rotational speed of 4200 RPM. The MHS2030AT is particularly suited for users who require a balance between cost and capacity without vastly sacrificing performance. Its design also emphasizes data integrity, offering features that mitigate the risk of data loss in mobile environments.

Finally, the MHS2060AT stands out with its enhanced storage capacity of 60GB. It shares similar technological attributes with the previous models, such as low power consumption and robust shock protection. This drive caters to users who require greater storage for multimedia applications and data-intensive tasks, while still being optimized for mobile computing.

In summary, the Fujitsu MHS2 series exemplifies reliability and performance in mobile storage solutions. Each model caters to different storage needs while maintaining essential features such as shock protection and energy efficiency, making them an excellent choice for laptop users and portable devices. Fujitsu’s commitment to engineering durable and efficient drives ensures that these models continue to be relevant in an ever-evolving technology landscape.
