Maintenance and Diagnosis

Data corruption

When asking for repair, save all data stored in the disk drive beforehand. Fujitsu Limited is not responsible for any loss of data during service and repair.

(5)Notes on handling

a.General notes

a)Vibrations and shocks more severe than allowed will cause fatal damage to the device so be very careful. Be especially careful when unpacking the device.

b)Do not leave the device in a dusty environment.

c)Because the device uses GMR (giant MR head) and static sensitive CMOS semiconductors take the following precautions, be careful of the handling on the following points after the device is unpacked.

−Use an antistatic mat, etc. in the environment for handling the equipment. The worker should also be physically grounded (e.g., wearing a wrist strap).

−Hold by the DE section, do not directly touch the PCA unit unnecessarily.

b.Unpacking

a)Use a flat workplace, find which side of the pack is up and be careful not to have the wrong side facing upwards. Do not place the device directly on a hard table, place it on something soft such as a rubber mat.

b)Be careful not to apply any excessive force to the packed device when removing the shock absorbing material.

c)When taking the device out of the antistatic bag, be especially careful not to apply any excessive force to the PCA or to the interface connector section.

d)Never ever remove the DE seal label and screws and the DE cover.

c.Installation

a)When the power is ON, do not change the switch setting, or connecting, or disconnecting connectors.

b)Do not move the device or disconnect connectors with the power ON or until the disk drive unit comes to a complete stop after the power is turned OFF. (It is required to wait more than 30 seconds.)

d.Packaging

a)Place the device in an antistatic vinyl bag along with a desiccant (silica gel).

MHV2060AS, MHV2080AS, MHV2040AS specifications

Fujitsu's MHV series of hard disk drives, specifically the MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, and MHV2060AS models, are designed to deliver efficient performance and reliability for a range of applications, particularly in desktop computing and entry-level servers. Each of these drives adheres to the Serial ATA (SATA) interface, which ensures compatibility across a wide range of systems and is known for its cost-effectiveness and simplicity.

The MHV2040AS features a storage capacity of 40GB, making it suitable for basic computing tasks including document editing, web browsing, and media playback. The MHV2060AS steps it up with a 60GB capacity, allowing for increased data storage needs while still maintaining a high level of performance. The largest of the trio, the MHV2080AS, offers an impressive 80GB of space, positioning it well for users who require additional room for applications, games, and multimedia files.

All drives in this series are equipped with a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, which strikes a balance between speed and power consumption. This speed is adequate for everyday tasks and allows for quick boot times and file access, making them ideal for home and small office environments. Additionally, the drives feature an average latency of 5.5 milliseconds, contributing to their overall performance in retrieving data.

In terms of technology, the MHV series employs a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motor, which not only enhances reliability but also reduces noise levels during operation. The FDB technology helps improve the longevity of the drives by minimizing wear on mechanical components. This characteristic is particularly important for users seeking quieter drives, especially in work environments that require minimal disruption.

The drives also incorporate advanced power management features that significantly reduce power consumption, making them an environmentally friendly choice for users mindful of their carbon footprint. These drives are equipped with energy-saving modes that optimize their performance when not in full use, ensuring lower operational costs and longer lifespan.

Overall, the Fujitsu MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, and MHV2060AS hard drives provide a solid solution for users looking for dependable storage with a range of capacities to fit their needs. Their performance, combined with noise reduction technologies and energy efficiency, makes them a notable choice for various computing environments, from single-user desktops to small business applications.
