Handling HDD Modules
The hard disk drives incorporated into the HDD modules are highly sensitive
electromagnetic devices and must be handled with great care. It is extremely
likely that incorrect handling will lead to partial and/or total failure of the hard
disk drives.
These failures can result in data errors and to a loss of data or to total corruption
of the hard disk drive.
Please observe the following rules, which will help prevent such problems
occurring:
●
Only store and transport HDD modules 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 drive.
V
CAUTION!
The HDD module must be acclimatized in its operating environment for
a set acclimatization time.
Ê
Always set the HDD module down carefully, with its largest surface facing
downwards, to avoid the danger of it tipping over.
