5.1 Notes on Handling HDDs
The items listed in the specifications in Table 2.1 must be strictly observed.
(1) General notes
a) Do not give the HDD shocks or vibrations exceeding the value defined in the specifications
because it may cause critical damage to the HDD. Especially be careful when unpacking.
b) Do not leave the HDD in a dirty or contaminated environment.
c) Since static discharge may destroy the CMOS semiconductors in the HDD, note the following
after unpacking:
• Use an antistatic mat and body grounding when handling the HDD.
• Hold the DE when handling the HDD. Do not touch any components on the PCBAs
except setting terminal (CN1 and CN2).
CAUTION
High temperature
To prevent injury, never touch the HDD while it is hot. The DE and LSI
become hot during operation and remain hot immediately after turning off the
power.
