LVD Shuttle Handling
You need to use reasonable care when you handle LVD shuttles.
Though the drive is ruggedly constructed, it has delicate internal
mechanisms that can be damaged when handled improperly. The
following list contains tips for handling and caring for the drives
attached to your Avid system.
•
Do not remove the LVD shuttle from the MediaDock 2+ enclosure
until the platters inside the disk have stopped spinning and the
heads are parked. For more removal instructions see,
•
Do not shake or jar the drive enclosures while the drive is
operating. This can damage the read/write heads or the magnetic
coating on the drive platters.
•
Do not turn off the power to a drive while you can see the icon on
a Macintosh desktop. This can cause directory structure problems
and might create incomplete files.
•
Do not turn off the power to a drive while an application is
reading data from or writing data to the drive. This can cause
directory structure problems and might create incomplete files.
•
Never disconnect SCSI cables or the SCSI terminator while the
Avid system and the drives are running. Shut down the system
and turn off the drives
before
making cabling changes.
c
Do not open an LVD shuttle enclosure; there are no user-repairable
parts inside. Opening the enclosure voids your Avid warranty and
prevents you from having the drive mechanism repaired without
charge.
