To Prevent Accidents

• Since the PSA-HD20 is a precision instrument, be sure it is neither hit by nor pressed strongly against another object. After unpacking, be sure the unit is not dropped or jolted during installation. Also, a PS-A unit built in to a larger piece of equipment (i.e. operation panel) should be removed and packed separately prior to shipping.

• Be sure water, liquids or metal particles are not allowed to enter the PSA-HD20. Any of these may cause either a breakdown or an electrical shock.

• Do not place or store this unit in a location where there is direct sunlight, excessive heat, dust or vibration.

• Do not store or operate the PSA-HD20 near chemicals, or where there are chemical fumes.

• Do not allow anyone other than Pro-face’s own service staff to perform maintenance or adjustments to the PSA-HD20.

• Do not move or shift the PS-A unit while the PSA-HD20 is installed and the PS-A unit's power is ON.

• Do not use the PSA-HD20 in locations where corrosive gasses are present, since they can lead to a hard disk breakdown.

• To prevent damage to file data, be sure to shut down the PS-A unit's OS before turning OFF the main power.

• To prevent HDD memory leaks, restart the OS periodically.

• In order to extend the lifetime of the hard disk, Pro-face recommends you set the Windows [Control panel]-[Power Management option]-[Turn off hard disks] selection to turn the hard disk off when the unit is not being operated. A setting of 5 minutes is recommended.

• Be sure to check that the PS-A unit’s power is disconnected before installing the unit, in order to prevent an electrical shock.

• Do not attempt to modify or open the PSA-HD20, since it can cause a shock or fire.

• When installing the PSA-HD20, be sure to read this guide's “2. Installation” section’s information completely to ensure that the unit is correctly installed.

• The PSA-HD20 has a finite usage lifetime. Therefore, be sure to back up all HDD data periodically or prepare a backup HDD unit.

• The HDD unit's lifetime will vary, depending on the usage conditions and environment. The above value is calculated assuming an ambient temperature of 20

C and 333 hours of operation per month. (HDD

access frequency of 20% or less)

• The environment specifications given here are for a PSA-HD20 installed in a PS-A unit.

• Pro-face does not guarantee the preservation of any data stored on the PSA-HD20 if the HDD unit has an accident, malfunctions or is damaged in any way. Therefore, the regular backing up of important HDD data to either a floppy disk, or other type of suitable magnetic media is strongly recommended.

• The PSA-HD20 has a finite usage lifetime. The lifetime figure given in this document is for reference, and the periodic replacement of the current HDD unit with a new HDD unit is strongly advised.

• Using the PSA-HD20 in an environment that is excessively hot and/or humid will shorten the disk’s usage lifetime. A wet bulb temperature of 29

C or less is recommended. This is equivalent to the following data.

• In order to extend the lifetime of the hard disk, Pro-face recommends you set the Windows [Control panel]-[Power Management option][Turn off hard disks] selection to turn the hard disk off when the unit is not being operated. A setting of 5 minutes is recommended.

4 Hardware Setup

All the following explanation screens use the PS-A unit's factory settings (default settings).

• Normally, the factory default settings should be used.

• Certain BIOS screen items may differ from those shown here due

to new versions or the PS-A unit you are using.

1) Connect a keyboard to the PS-A unit.

2) Turn the PS-A unit’s power ON.

3) When the start-up screen appears, press your PC’s [DEL] key.

The Setup utility will start. Select [Standard CMOS Features], then, [IDE Primary Master] or [IDE Primary Slave] depending on the settings of the jumper plug to Master/Slave. The following screen will appear. (When selecting [IDE Primary Master].)

4) Confirm whether "AUTO" is selected for IDE Primary Master/IDE Primary

Slave. Also, confirm whether "AUTO" is selected for [Access Mode]. If AUTO is not selected, change these settings to AUTO. If AUTO is selected in both, disk parameters will be automatically read when the PS-A is turned ON. The factory setting is AUTO and recommended for most users.

5) After all changes are made, press the [ESC] key and select [Save & Exit Setup]

to save the settings.
