Handling precautions
• Do not seal the breather hole! Sealing the
breather hole may result in loss of data.
• Do not press on the drive! Do not apply any
force to the drive during handling or installation.
• Always handle the drive with care to prevent
damage from shock, vibration, or electrostatic
discharge (ESD).
• Handle the drive carefully by the edges. Do not
touch any exposed printed circuit board.
• Do not write on the label or remove it. Do not
apply additional labels.
• Do not drop the drive.
• Do not expose the drive to wet conditions.
• Do not place the drive near a strong magnetic
field.
• Do not expose the drive to extreme temperatures.
Mounting Recommendations
There are no screw holes or guide rails in the Microdrive 3K8 hard disk drive. Hitachi
recommends you secure the drive by placing it in a frame with snubbers as shown in the
diagram below. Hitachi GST will assist customers with mounting design.

•To permit airflow, a 0.5mm gap on top and bottom should exist after device holding
drive is assembled.
•Give FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) cable enough length to avoid excessive tension
under shock condition.
•Snubbers are available from 3rd parties such as EAR (www.earsc.com). Material should
not produce any outgassing such as siloxane found in organic silicone oil.
•Do not cover breather hole
