Safety Cautions
• Be sure to check that the PS-A unit’s
power is disconnected before installing
the unit, in order to prevent an electri-
cal shock.
• Do not attempt to modify or open the
HDD unit, since it can cause a shock or
fire.
• When installing the HDD unit, be sure
to read this guide "Installation" sec-
tion's information completely to insure
that the unit is correctly installed.
To Prevent Accidents
• Since the HDD unit is a precision instru-
ment, 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 unit (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 HDD unit. 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 this unit near chem-
icals, or where there are chemical fumes.
• Do not allow anyone other than Pro-face’s
own service staff to perform maintenance
or adjustments to this unit.
• Do not move or shift the PS-A unit while
the HDD unit is installed and the PS-A
unit's power is ON.
• Do not use the HDD unit in locations
where corrosive gasses are present, since
they can lead to a hard disk breakdown.
• To prevent the data damage, be sure to shut
down the PS-A unit’s OS according to the
correct procedure before turning OFF the
main power.
• To prevent memory leaks, restart the OS
periodically.
• The hard disk has the lifetime. To use it
longer by steady operation, read the
attached “Instructions for Using the Hard
Disk” carefully.
• In order to extend the lifetime of the hard
disk, Pro-face recommends you set the
Windows®[Control panel]-[Performance
and Maintenance]-[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.
Unit Disposal
• When this HDD unit is disposed of, it
should be done so according to your coun-
try’s regulations for similar types of indus-
trial wastes.

Hardware Specifications
Features
• The HDD unit's lifetime will vary,
depending on the usage conditions
and environment. The above value is
calculated assuming an ambient tem-
perature of 20°C and 732 hours of
operation per month. (HDD access
frequency of 50% or less)
Environment
• Using the HDD unit 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
