5.4Mounting Drives

5.4.1Check before mounting

Reconfirm if the CN2 setting terminal is set correctly according to Table 5.8 before mounting the NP model drives in the system cabinet. For the CN2 setting terminal location, see Section 5.3.

The NC model drives do not require the following check.

5.4.2Mounting procedures

Since mounting the drive depends on the system cabinet structure, determine the work procedures considering the requirements specific to each system. The general mounting method and items to be checked are shown below.

See Subsection 4.1 for the details of requirements for installing the HDD.

1)With a system to which an external operator panel is mounted, if it is difficult to access the connector after the drive is mounted on the system cabinet, connect the external operator panel cable before mounting the drive.

2)Fix the drive in the system cabinet with four mounting screws as follows:

•The drive has 10 mounting holes (both sides: 3 ⋅ 2, bottom: 4). Fix the drive by using four mounting holes of both sides of the drive or the bottom. (See Figure 4.5)

•Use mounting screws of which lengths inside the drive mounting frame are 5.0 mm or less when the screws are tightened (see Figure 4.4).

•When mounting the drive, be careful not to damage parts on the PCA.

3)Confirm the DE is not touching the frame on the system side excluding the screw installing part after tightening the screws. At least 2.5mm of clearance is required between the DE and the frame. (Indicated in Figure 4.4)

4)When using an electric screwdriver, use an electric screwdriver that does not apply a force on the drive that would exceed the drive’s specifications.

MAW3147NC/NP, MAW3073NC/NP, MAW3300NC/NP specifications

Fujitsu has established itself as a key player in the world of hard disk drives, and their MAW3073NC/NP, MAW3300NC/NP, and MAW3147NC/NP models showcase exemplary engineering and innovative technology. These drives are designed primarily for enterprise applications, providing robust performance, reliability, and data integrity in demanding environments.

One of the standout features of the Fujitsu MAW series is its high storage capacity. The MAW3073NC/NP model comes with a generous 73 GB capacity, while the MAW3300NC/NP boasts 300 GB, and the MAW3147NC/NP offers 147 GB of storage. This range makes them suitable for various applications, from databases to data-intensive software.

The drives utilize the latest Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which ensures high speed and efficiency in data transfer. SAS technology provides better bandwidth and performance compared to older parallel SCSI interfaces, enabling faster access to data and improved overall system responsiveness. With rotational speeds of 10,000 RPM, these drives further enhance performance, enabling faster read and write times, which is critical for enterprise applications that require quick data retrieval.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Fujitsu MAW series is their advanced error recovery and data integrity features. The drives are equipped with sophisticated error correction mechanisms and management systems that help maintain data integrity, ensuring that the data remains intact even in the event of power loss or system failure. This reliability is paramount for enterprise environments where data loss can result in significant operational disruptions.

In terms of physical design, these drives are built to endure the rigors of high-demand environments. They feature a robust construction that allows for efficient heat dissipation, minimizing the risks associated with overheating. Additionally, their form factor is designed for easy integration into various server and storage systems, making them versatile solutions for IT infrastructure.

Fujitsu's commitment to sustainability is also evident in the MAW series with their energy-efficient operation and reduced power consumption, contributing to decreased overall operational costs. With a combination of high performance, reliability, and sustainability, the Fujitsu MAW3073NC/NP, MAW3300NC/NP, and MAW3147NC/NP hard drives stand out as formidable choices for organizations looking to optimize their data storage solutions. They embody the cutting-edge technology and quality that Fujitsu is known for in the enterprise storage market.
