Maintenance

Device damage

 

 

1.

Before touching a PCA or the drive, wear a wrist strap

1-2

 

 

and perform the human body grounding to discharge

 

 

 

static electricity from your body. This will prevent

 

 

 

irreparable damage to the PCA and the head of the drive.

 

 

2.

Don’t install or remove a PCA or connect or disconnect

 

 

 

a cable or connector plug when the drive is powered.

 

 

 

This will prevent electrical damage to the disk drive.

 

 

3.

Operating the disk drive with one or more PCA missing

 

 

 

will be unpredictable. Only power the drive with all

 

 

 

boards installed.

 

 

4.

Avoid any detergent which may cause short circuits

 

 

 

when cleaning assemblies.

 

 

5.

Keep all vents open opened and unblocked. Avoid other

 

 

 

conditions which may cause circuits to overheat.

 

 

6.

A ribbon type cable has one line marked. Ensure that

 

 

 

this line is always connected to pin 1 of the cable

 

 

 

connector.

 

 

7.

Do not apply excessive force to the cover under any

 

 

 

circumstances. Doing so may cause irreparable damage

 

 

 

to the cover.

 

 

Device damage

 

 

The DE is completely sealed. Do not open the DE in the

1-3

 

field.

 

 

Data corruption

 

 

When asking for repair, save all data stored in the disk drive

1-4

 

beforehand. Fujitsu Limited is not responsible for any loss

 

 

of data during service and repair.

 

 

Device damage

 

 

The disk enclosure (DE) must never to be opened in the

1-13

 

field. Opening the disk enclosure may cause irreparable

 

 

damage.

Fujitsu MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, MHV2060AS manual Device damage, Data corruption

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.
