Handling HDD Modules
Hard disk drives incorporated in the HDD modules are highly sensitive electro-
magnetic devices and must be handled with great care. It is extremely likely that
an incorrect handling will lead to a partially and/or total failure of the hard disk
drives.
These failures will result in data errors and to loss of data or to total destruction
of the hard disk drive.
Please observe following rules, which will help to avoid the occurrence of this
type of problems:
●
Store and transport HDD modules only within the limits stipulated in the
specification.
●
When transporting HDD modules (even over short distances), always use
the original packaging (ESD labeling).
●
Never expose a HDD module to a temperature shock. Avoid the formation of
condensation inside and on the outside of the hard disk drives.
V
CAUTION!
The HDD module must be acclimatized in its operating environment for
an acclimatization time.
Ê
Always put the HDD module down carefully, with its largest surface facing
downwards, to avoid the danger of tipping over.
