(7) Environmenta l magnetic field
Do not install the HDD in the vicinity of equipment giving off strong magnetic fields, such as
monitors, televisions, or loudspeakers.
(8) Leakage magnetic flux
The HDD uses a high performance magnet to achieve a high speed seek. Therefore, a leak magnetic
flux at surface of the HDD is large. Mount the HDD so that the leak magnetic flux does not affect to
near equipment.
