Maintenance and Diagnosis

1.1 Maintenance

b)It is recommended that you use the shock absorption cushion material and packaging that contained the device when it was delivered by Fujitsu.

If the same packaging material cannot be used, use a shock absorbent box that will transmit shocks directly to the device. When using this type of box, adequately protect the PCA surface and interface connector section.

c)Place a label showing which side is up and clearly stating the notes on handling on the outside of the packaging.

e.Delivery

a)As a rule, deliver as it is packaged and keep the up side up.

b)If delivering a single drive after it is unpacked, take it only a short distance. Also, use shock absorbent material to protect it against shock and vibration. Deliver an unpacked device in either of the allowable packed positions.

Refer to Section 3.2 of the MHS2060AT, MHS2040AT, MHS2030AT, MHS2020AT Disk Drives Product Manual.

f.Storage

a)Store in dampproof packaging.

b)Take care that the environmental requirements satisfy the non-operating environmental specifications described in Section 1.4 of the MHS2060AT, MHS2040AT, MHS2030AT, MHS2020AT Disk Drives Product Manual.

c)To prevent condensation, do not subject the device to sudden changes of temperature.

1.1.3Maintenance levels

Because of its compact size and special repair requirements, it is recommended that the whole disk drive be replaced. This section describes maintenance on two levels.

(1) Field maintenance (disk drive replacement)

Replacement at the user site.

Disk drive replacement requires ordinary tools.

Usually, the user, retailer, seller, or OEM trader will replace the drive.

(2) Factory maintenance (parts replacement)

Only Fujitsu can perform maintenance at this level.

This includes maintenance training and assisting other OEM traders. The OEM trader usually assists the retailer and seller.

Use the factory level tools and test equipment. This includes recommended spare parts and repairing or replacing various parts.

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.
