(5)Notes on handling
a. General notes
a)Vibrations and shocks more severe than allowed will cause fatal damage to the device
so be very careful. Be especially careful when unpacking the device.
b)Do not leave the device in a dusty environment.
c)Because the device uses static sensitive CMOS semiconductors take the following
precautions, be careful of the handling on the following points after the device is
unpacked.
• Use an antistatic mat where the device is handled and it is recommended that the
body of the handler be grounded.
C141-F029-01EN1 - 3
• Hold by the DE section, do not directly touch the PCA unit unnecessarily.
b. Unpacking
a)Use a flat workplace, find which side of the pack is up and be careful not to have the
wrong side facing upwards. Do not place the device directly on a hard table, place it
on something soft such as a rubber mat.
b)Be careful not to apply any excessive force to the packed device when removing the
shock absorbing material.
c)When taking the device out of the antistatic bag, be especially careful not to apply any
excessive force to the PCA or to the interface connector section.
d)Never ever remove the DE seal label and screws and the DE cover.
c. Installation
a)When the power is ON, do not change the switch setting, or connecting, or
disconnecting connectors.
b)Do not move the device or disconnect connectors with the power ON or until the disk
drive unit comes to a complete stop after the power is turned OFF (about 30 seconds).
d. Packaging
a)Place the device in an antistatic vinyl bag along with a desiccant (silica gel).
b)It is recommended that you use the shock absorption cushion material and packaging
that contained the device when it was delivered by Fujitsu.
If the same packaging material cannot be used, use a shock absorbent box that will
transmit shocks directly to the device. When using this type of box, adequately
protect the PCA surface and interface connector section.
c)Place a label showing which side is up and clearly stating the notes on handling on
the outside of the packaging.
e. Delivery
a)As a rule, deliver as it is packaged and keep the up side up.
b)If delivering a single drive after it is unpacked, take it only a short distance. Also, use
shock absorbent material to protect it against shock and vibration. Deliver an
unpacked device in either of the allowable packed positions. Refer to Section 3.2 in
Product Manual.
1 - 4C141-F029-01EN
f. Storage
a)Store in dampproof packaging.
b)Take care that the environmental requirements satisfy the non-operating
environmental specifications described in Section 1.4 in Product Manual.
c)To prevent condensation, do not subject the device to sudden changes of temperature.
1.1.3Maintenance levels

(2) If it is concluded that the drive is the cause, replace the drive.
1.2Operation Confirmation
1.2.1Operation test
When the host computer is processing data, the disk drive monitors disk drive operation errors
including data, command, and seek errors. The host is notified of the error that the disk drive
detected and the user is notified of its result.
The user may notice intermittent and indefinite failures such as overlong execution time,
abnormal noise, abnormal odor, or failures in particular processes.
The failure reported in the operation test will need further investigation. To ascertain the cause
of the disk drive failure reported, the disk drive can be replaced. Failures in the operation test
are often not caused by the host system. For example, not having enough power supply
reserve, a loose cable connection, no timing and mechanical reserves, or relationship with
other systems.
In normal operation, the disk drive itself or the host determines the processing (return or halt)
following the detected failure state.
C141-F029-01EN1 - 9
To troubleshoot the failure reported in the test at this level, accurately reproduce the condition
that caused the failure. Then, by replacing the disk drive, try to separate the fault from the
other sections of the disk drive host system.
1.2.2Diagnostic test
The diagnostic test is used to separate a confirmed disk drive failure to a disk drive
subassembly or to check the disk drive performance. A test of this level usually includes a
specific disk drive function or concentrated execution of a group of functions. The test is
usually performed by a factory engineer and not where the failure was reported. The disk
drive is tested using another host computer or test equipment.
To troubleshoot the disk drive failure in the diagnostic test, the engineer will reproduce the
failure condition. The engineer then isolates the failure to a subassembly or part of the disk
drive.
The procedures used in a test of this level great depend on the test equipment used. It is
beyond the range of this manual.
1.3Troubleshooting Procedure
1.3.1Troubleshooting procedure
This section describes the troubleshooting procedures for a disk drive failure at field
maintenance level described in Subsection 1.1.3.
In this section, troubleshooting is made to isolate the reported failure to the disk drive or a host
system. Usually, troubleshooting is necessary only when a cause of failure is uncertain or
unknown. When a cause of failure is clear (for example, abnormal sound in the DE or burnt
parts on the PCA), a level of troubleshooting is low.
1.3.2Troubleshooting disk drive replaced in field
It is recommended that the whole drive be replaced in maintenance of this level. If replacing
the drive corrects the fault, return the old drive to the factory for testing and repair. If the new
drive shows the same fault as the one that was removed, the failure is elsewhere in the system.
System level troubleshooting, shown in Table 1.3, is performed at the user site to isolate the
reported failure to the disk drive or system.

Manual for switching setting.
connected.
To further isolate the failure, if it can be done, execute the system level
diagnostic routine described in the host computer manual.
Check the AC voltage level at the power supply section and recheck the DC
voltage level at the disk drive power supply connector.
If the AC voltage level is abnormal, or if there is a lot of electrical noise,
notify the user.
If the DC voltage level is unstable, replace the power supply section.
If possible, replace the disk drive. If the fault remains, the disk drive is not
the case. For suggestions to isolate the failure further, refer to the hardware
and software manuals provided with the system.
C141-F029-01EN1 - 11
1.3.3Troubleshooting at factory
When the trouble is recovered by replacing the drive at field (Subsection 1.3.2), troubleshoot
the replaced drive to isolate the trouble to the subassembly parts.
To shorten the troubleshooting time and repairing time, gather the data, such as environmental
data and other information, from the user and then return the failed drive to the factory with
the media defect list to repair.
At the factory, user environment is made and a reappearance test is performed. To
reappearance a same trouble at user, the failed drive is connected to the host system. If no
trouble occurs by the normal test, the reappearance test is performed by adding the
voltage/temperature load using a disk drive tester or tools according to the user environment.
When a trouble reappeared, troubleshoot the cause of failure. Then, replace the failed unit or
parts.
As this level maintenance is made by a factory, this maintenance level is beyond the scope of
this manual.
The disk enclosure must never to opened in the field. Opening the
disk enclosure may cause irreparable damage.

CHAPTER 2 REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
2.1Spare Parts
2.2Disk Drive Removal
This chapter explains the procedure for removing and replacing the disk drive. It is assumed that the
reader has a thorough knowledge of replacing the complete disk drive and replacing the powerinterface cable.
When carrying out these procedures, note the following items.
• The disk drive must have been removed from the host system.
• A power-interface cable to the disk drive must be disconnected.
• Mounting is done by reversing the steps for removal.
To carry out maintenance properly, observe the following:
• Place removed screws and other parts where they will not get lost or damaged.
• Keep a record of all maintenance work.
• Tighten screws securely but not excessively.
• Before touching the PCA, perform the human body grounding to discharge any static electricity
from your body. This ensures that the worker will not electrically damage the PCA.
2.1Spare Parts
See Table 2.1 for the model and parts numbers to order the replacement disk drive.
The method and procedures to dismount the disk drive to check the jumper terminal, change
the jumper position, or replace the device differ depend on the system cabinet structure.
Therefore, for actual working procedures, the specific conditions necessary for each system
must be determined. The general removal procedures, with notes, is as follows.
a) Disconnect the power-interface cable.
b) Remove the screws that attach the drive and remove the drive from the system cabinet.
c) When storing or transporting the drive, pack it an antistatic bag.
