PPC-HDD(MS)A User’s Guide

CONTEC CO.,LTD.

Thank you for purchasing the PPC-HDD(MS)A hard disk unit for PC CPU Module. Follow the instructions in this guide to use the product.

Notes!

- The hard disk drive can be easily damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use meticulous care in handling the hard disk unit for moving or assembling.

- When using the hard disk unit, be sure to satisfy the conditions listed as its general specifications. For use in a severe environment, use the silicon disk unit instead.

- For use in a place subject to vibration or shock, use a set of shock-proof brackets [PPC-HBR-01] available as an option.

- As the hard disk unit has a limited life, be sure to back up important data recorded on the unit. To back up the contents of the hard disk, including the OS, you should use a commercial backup tool (such as Symantec Ghost).

- The hard disk drive (HDD) of this disk unit has not guaranteed use by continuation and continuation power for 24 hours. When it is used by continuation operation and continuation power a life falls extremely. In the case of a 24-hour operation system, use of our company silicon disk (SDD) is recommended.

The life of a hard disk drive changes with environment or operating conditions. As a

standard, power time (motor-on time) below 333hours/month (below 11 hours/day), disk access time is 20% or less, it becomes which for 20,000 hours (power time) or five years, or an early thing.

- Do not touch the interface connector of the hard disk unit.

- Before plugging to or unplugging from the connector on the hard disk unit, be sure to turn off the power unit.

- CONTEC assumes no liability for any loss or destruction of data recorded by this product regardless of the attribute of the causing fault or failure. Be sure to back up important data.
