Caution

8 Precautions for handling

The drive is sensitive to shock, vibration, over voltage, temperature, humidity, corrosive gas, magnetic force and electrostatic discharge.

If these forces contact the electrical or mechanical components (magnetic heads, magnetic disks), the drive will break down, degrade, or storage data will be lost. The following handling guidelines are mandatory.

(1)Handle the drive on the appropriate cushion (for example, anti-static pad with thickness of 10mm or more) to prevent from shock and vibration.

(2)Handle the drive with a wrist band, an anti-static mat, or without direct touch of the hands to the PCB in order to prevent static electricity discharge.

(3)Handle the drive in an environment (Temperature, Moisture, Corrosive gas), which follows the drive specification and prevents unforeseen complications.

8.1Packing

After cleaning the drive, pack it in the following manner to protect it from moisture.

(1)Put the drive in an electro-static shielding bag with desiccant.

(2)Packing materials, i.e. electro-static shielding bag, cardboard box, cushion, etc., should not contain corrosive gas, saline or organic-metal compound. (Example organic silicon, organic tin)

(3)If the package has no damage after unpacking, reserve it for storage or Transportation of the drive.

But 20-unit packing material is suitable for only 20 units packing.

When less than 19 units, it is recommended to use the 5-unit packing material.

5-units packing material covers the quantity from 1 to 5.

8.2Transportation

(1)Pack the drive so as to maintain above-mentioned environmental conditions during transportation. (Refer to section 4.2)

(2)When you take the drive out of the packing case and carry it on a hand truck, lay it on cushioning material (for example, urethane foam cushioning with a thickness of 10mm or more).

8.3Storage

When storing, pack the drive to protect it against moisture. (Refer to section 4.2) In case that storage period becomes long, exchange a desiccant and repack. This operation shall be executed every 3 months.
