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 Win-
dows [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 20oC 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
29oC 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.

4Hardware 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 Pri-
mary 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.
