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/SSD unit, since it can cause a
shock or fire.
• When installing the HDD/SSD unit, be
sure to read this guide "Installation"
section's information completely to
insure that the unit is correctly
installed.
To Prevent Accidents
• Since the HDD/SSD unit 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 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/SSD unit.
Any of these may cause either a break-
down 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/SSD unit is installed and the PS-
A unit's power is ON.
• Do not use the HDD/SSD 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/SSD 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
HDD Unit
Features
• 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)
• To use the hard disk longer by steady operation, read the attached “Instructions for
Using the Hard Disk” carefully.
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 recom-
mended. This is equivalent to the following data.
Capacity 60GB

SSD Unit
Features
Environment
• The SSD unit has a limited number of writes. Exceeding the guaranteed number of
writes could make it impossible to read and write data, or systems may become
unstable resulting in malfunctions.
• You can calculate the expected lifetime of the SSD unit based on the number of
writes.
SSD memory capacity: 15,631 MB
Guaranteed number of writes: 1 hundred thousand
The expected lifetime when writing 512 MB of data once per minute is approximately
6 years.
Depending on the system and software, data writes may actually be run several times
even when only one write command is made. This can lead to actual lifetimes signifi-
cantly different from expected lifetimes.
In order to make more accurate lifetime predictions, please use Pro-face's System
Monitor, which is included with the PS-A unit.

drive and the HDD unit as the factory
settings (CF Card drive is set to the
PS-A's Master drive and HDD unit is
set to the PS-A's Slave drive).
SSD Unit Settings
The PS371XA-SD16P is one of the options
for PS-A, when shipped, set as the PS-A's
Master drive (First Drive). When using the
