HARD DISK DRIVES INSTALLATION GUIDE 

 

CARE OF YOUR FUJITSU HARD DISK DRIVE (HDD) 

Careful handling and installation of your HDD is paramount to the longevity of the unit.  The internal mechanism of the HDD can be 
seriously damaged if the HDD is subjected to forces outside the environmental specifications.  When transporting the HDD, always use the 
original packaging in which the HDD was delivered to you, and avoid exposing the HDD to extreme changes in temperature to minimize the 
risk of condensation. 

 

HANDLING 

1. Never

 drop the unit.  Handle it with care. 

2. Never

 move the HDD while disks are spinning.  Note that the disks spin when the HDD is powered on and also immediately after power 

off.  Refer to the Start/Stop specification for your HDD. 

3.

 

Never

 place the HDD in the vicinity of equipment giving off strong magnetic fields, such as CRT monitors, televisions, or loudspeakers. 

4.

 

Never

 use any cleaning agents or liquids on the HDD. 

5.

 

Always

 use an antistatic mat and wrist strap when handling the HDD.  Hold the HDD by the base casting and never touch the components 

on the printed circuit board assembly. 

6.

 

Never

 remove any labels from the HDD or deface them in any way. 

7.

 

Never

 open the HDD for any reason.  Doing so will void any warranties. 

8.

 

Always

 pay close attention to the mounting specifications such as those for sway space and cooling.  If the temperature difference 

between the storage location and installation location exceeds 10

°

C, for temperature acclimation purposes, leave the HDD in the new 

location for at least two hours before turning it on.  This minimizes any risk of condensation forming on the HDD. 

The HDD needs NO preventative or periodic maintenance during its service life if properly used in an appropriate environment. 

 

INSTALLATION 

1. ORIENTATION 

The HDD can be installed flat on any of its six sides.  Inclination from a vertical or horizontal plane should not exceed 5

°

2. MOUNTING SCREW INSTALLATION 

Use all of 4 mounting screw holes on both sides of the HDD or the bottom.  The inward projection of the screw from the HDD frame wall 
at the corner must be 2.5 mm 

±

0.5 mm.

 

  Impact caused by the electric screwdriver must be within the HDD specifications. 

3. COOLING 

Allow space above and below the HDD to provide an adequate airflow.  Fan cooling is recommended.  The HDD temperature measured 
on the cover surface (label side) should never exceed 60°C.  See Table 1.  

Table 1.  Reference value of airflow

4. BREATHING 

Never cover the vent hole displayed on the label with the arrow. 

5. CONNECTING 

To avoid potential damage to the HDD, make sure that connector type and orientation is correct. 

CAUTION:

 

Your warranty may be voided if the connector is damaged as a result of incorrect insertion.
