DISK DRIVES INSTALLATION GUIDE

CARE OF YOUR FUJITSU DRIVE

Careful handling and installation of your disk drive is paramount to the longevity of the unit. Serious damage can occur to the internal mechanisms if forces outside the environmental specifications are exerted to the casing. In transportation, always use the original packing in which the drive was supplied and avoid sharp changes in temperature to minimise the risk of condensation.

Handling

1.Never drop. Handle with care.

2.Never move the disk drive while the disks are spinning. This is when the drive is powered on and also immediately after power off. Refer to the Start/Stop specification for your drive.

3.Always turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the interface cable. The same applies to changing any of the switches or terminal settings except Write protect switch on NP model drives.

4.Never place the drive in the vicinity of strong magnetic fields such as monitors, televisions, or loudspeakers.

5.Never use any cleaning agents or liquids on the drive.

6.Always use an antistatic mat and wrist strap when handling the drive. Hold the drive by the Base casting and never touch the components on printed circuit board.

7.Never remove any labels from the drive and do not deface them in any way; these labels are part of the disk drive design.

8.Never open the disk enclosure for any reason. Doing so voids any warranty.

9.Always pay close attention to the mounting specifications such as sway space and cooling. If the temperature difference between storage location and installation locations is more than 10°C, leave the drive in the new location for at least two hours for Temperature acclimation. This minimises any risk of condensation forming on the drive.

The Drive needs NO preventative or periodic maintenance during its life time if properly used in the correct environment.

INSTALLATION

1.ORIENTATION–The drive can be installed in each six surface down orientations. Inclination from vertical or horizontal should not exceed 5°.

2.MOUNTING SCREW INSTALLATION–When the mounting screw holes on the side of the drive are used, be sure to use the two pairs of outer holes. Do not use the center hole in conjunction with only one of the outer holes. The screws must not penetrate the drive by more than 5.0 millimeters. Impact caused by the electric driver must be within the device specifications.

3.COOLING–Allow space above and below the drive to provide an adequate air flow. Fan cooling is recommended. The disk enclosure temperature measured at center of base cover (label side) should never exceed 60°C. See Table 1.

40°C

> 0.5 m/s

45°C

> 0.9 m/s

50°C

> 1.5 m/s

4.TERMINATION–A terminator should be installed externally at both ends of the SCSI bus.

5.TERMINATOR POWER–Terminator power must be supplied to terminator for correct operation. This can be supplied from either the drive, except for NC model or the SCSI bus. If only NC model drives are connected to the SCCI bus, terminator power should be supplied externally.

6.ATTACHING THE CABLES–To avoid possible damage to the drive, make sure the direction of the connector matches.

CAUTION: Warranty may be avoided if damage to the connector is caused by wrong insertion.

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.
