Precautions

Notes on Machines Equipped With a Hard- Disk Drive

This unit is equipped with a Hard-Disk Drive (HDD), which is a precision device. Shock, vibration, static electricity, or extraordinary temperature or humidity may cause trouble with HDDs or loss of data stored on a hard disk.

Be sure to pay careful attention when installing, operating and setting up this unit.

Do NOT impart any mechanical shock or vibration.

This may damage the HDD or cause loss of data.

•When transporting the unit, be sure to pack it with the specified packing materials.

If carrying the unit on a cart, use a cart with low vibration. If excessive mechanical shock or vibration is imparted, the HDD may be damaged.

•NEVER move this unit in power-on state. Mount/ remove the unit onto/from a rack in power-off state.

•Do not impart shock to any other machine in the rack that is equipped with an HDD.

•Be sure to turn off the power of every other machine in the rack that is equipped with an HDD before mounting/removing the unit onto/from a rack.

•Do not place the unit near equipment that causes vibration.

•Do not remove the cabinet of the unit.

•When placing the unit on a floor or stand, be sure to gently set the unit down with the four specified feet attached to the bottom. If there are no feet on the bottom, attach them before setting the unit down.

Never operate the unit within 30 seconds after the power is turned off.

The disk in an HDD rotates by inertia for a while after the power is turned off. In this condition, the heads are in an unstable state. During this period, the HDD is more sensitive to mechanical shock and vibration than during power-on state. Refrain from imparting even a slight shock for at least 30 seconds after the power is turned off. Operations may be initiated after 30 seconds or more (as the disk stops).

Notes on temperature and humidity

The operating and storage temperature and humidity must be maintained within the specified ranges (temperature: 5° C to 40° C or 41° F to 104° F, humidity: 80% or less).

In the event of trouble with the HDD

If there is something wrong with the HDD of this unit (a failure occurs in the HDD), handle this unit following the cautions given above. This protects the HDD and your data from further damage until the contents of the failure can be confirmed or analyzed.
