Built-in hard disk drive
Hard disk drive is vulnerable to vibration. Handle it with care.
Performance and lifetime of hard disk drive is easily affected by heat (used at high temperature)
characteristically. It is recommended to use this unit at temperatures between 20℃-30℃{68℉-86℉}.
It is possible to damage it if it is moved while it motor is still running. Do not move it just after turning it
power on or off (for around 30 seconds).
A lifetime of hard disk drive is limited by use.
It is recommended to replace it after around 18000 hours of operation to prevent data loss from disk failures.
Write error may occur frequently after around 20000 hours of operation and the head and motor deterioration
may occur and will reach their lifetime after 30000 hours of operation when it has been used at the
recommended ambient temperature (approx. 25℃{77℉}).
When hard disk drive trouble occurs, replace it immediately. Consult your dealer for servicing.
When replacing the hard disk drives, take notice of the following.
Protect the hard disk drives from static electricity.
Do not keep them upright.
Do not use an electric screwdriver to fix them.

(Tightening torque:Approx. 0.49 N.m {5 Kgf.cm})
Avoid rapid changes of the temperature/humidity to prevent condensation.
(Acceptable change: within 15℃/h{59℉/h})
Before You Start.
1. Do not attempt to open or remove the covers. This may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
2. Installation should be performed by a qualified service person only.
3. This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the manufacturer‘s label.
