About this product

Precautions

Compatible models

The internal hard disk drive (40GB) (for PlayStation®2) (referred to as “HDD” throughout this guide) is designed exclusively for use with the PlayStation®2 console.

Do not attempt to install the HDD in any other hardware, as doing so may damage not only the HDD but also the hardware to which you attempt installation. Also, do not connect a commercially available hard disk drive that is not specifically designed for the PlayStation®2 console to the network adaptor, as this may damage the console or the connected device.

A network adaptor (for PlayStation®2) (sold separately) is required to install the HDD in the PlayStation®2 console. The combination of the HDD and network adaptor is referred to as “HDD unit” throughout this guide.

Compatible software

This product is compatible with PlayStation®2 format software marked as compatible with the internal hard disk drive (for PlayStation®2).

Usage of the HDD may vary depending on the software in use. For details, refer to the appropriate software manual.

Once the HDD is installed, you may not be able to reset software by pressing the 1 (standby)/reset button on the PlayStation®2 console front. To help avoid losing game progress, try to save before attempting to reset a game.

Capacity

The storage capacity of the HDD is 40 gigabytes (GB). Note that available formatted capacity is reduced with pre-installed software. Also note that due to manufacturing variances, hard disk capacity may vary slightly. If you have any questions, call SCEA Consumer Services at 1-800-345-7669.

The amount of memory required for saving data varies depending on the software in use. For details, refer to the appropriate software manual.

Safety

This product has been designed with the highest concern for safety. However, any electrical device, if used improperly, has the potential for causing fire, electrical shock or personal injury. To help ensure accident-free operation, follow these guidelines:

• Observe all warnings, precautions and instructions.

• Stop use immediately if the device functions in an

abnormal manner, or produces unusual sounds or smells.

• The HDD has an exposed metal casing. To help avoid injury, be careful when handling the HDD.

• If the device does not function properly, contact our technical support line at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.

Use and handling

The HDD is a sensitive piece of equipment and should be handled with care at all times. To help prevent software or data loss or corruption, or damage to the HDD, carefully follow the precautions listed below.

• Do not drop the HDD or subject it to physical shock or vibration.

• Do not place the HDD on surfaces that are unstable, tilted or subject to vibration.

• Do not move or change the position of a console with an HDD installed while it is turned on.

• Do not turn off a console with an HDD installed without following the correct shutdown procedure. Refer to the instruction manual for the internal hard disk drive (40GB) (for PlayStation®2) and HDD utility disc (ver 1.10) for the procedure.

• Do not shut down the console while the HDD access indicator within the front vent of the console is blinking.

• Do not expose the HDD to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight (use in an environment where temperatures range 5˚C – 35˚C/41˚F – 95˚F).

• Do not place the HDD in locations subject to sudden temperature change (for example, temperature changes of 10˚C/18˚F per hour or more).

• Do not use the console with the HDD installed in a dusty location.

• Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the HDD.

• Do not place the HDD close to magnetic fields such as those produced by magnets or loudspeakers.

• Do not put heavy objects on the HDD.

• When handling the HDD, do not touch the black

protective covering as doing so may damage the circuit board.

• Do not touch the metal parts or insert foreign objects into the connectors of the HDD.

• When you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period of time, disconnect the power plug for the console from the electrical outlet. This will help prevent damage to the HDD from lightning and power line surges. When disconnecting the power plug from an electrical outlet, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• Do not connect any peripheral to the HDD except the network adaptor (for PlayStation®2) (sold separately).

• Do not move the console for 30 seconds after shutdown, as this may damage the HDD.

• It is recommended that you regularly back up game save data to a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) or memory card.

If for any reason software or data loss or corruption occurs on the HDD, it is usually not possible to recover the software or data. Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates will not be held liable for any damages or injury in the case of software or data loss or corruption.

Moisture condensation

If brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense on the outside or inside of the HDD. Should this occur, the HDD may not operate properly. In this case, turn off the PlayStation®2 console by pressing the main power switch on the console rear and remove the power plug from the electrical socket. Do not turn on the console until the moisture evaporates (this could take several hours). If the console or HDD still does not operate properly, contact our technical support line at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.

Never disassemble the HDD

Use the HDD according to the instructions in this guide. No authorization for the analysis or modification of the HDD, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations is provided herein.

Cleaning

Never attempt to clean the HDD, as touching the circuit board or subjecting the HDD to physical shock or vibration, could damage the HDD. For instructions on cleaning the PlayStation®2 console or network adaptor (for PlayStation®2) (sold separately), refer to the appropriate instruction manual.
