Installing And Removing An Hdd Or Ssd - Hitachi HF-W2000 58 Instruction Manual

6.3.6 Installing and removing an HDD or SSD

When installing or removing an HDD or SSD, be careful not to cut your fingers on the
protrusions.
● Place an HDD or SSD on a shock-absorbing material, such as an antistatic cushion, even for
temporary tasks. Placing an HDD or SSD directly on a hard surface, such as a desktop, might
result in the failure or a shorter life span of the device, or cause loss of data due to jarring or
shocks.
● Never remove the screws on an HDD or SSD while the power to the device is on. Never hot-
swap HDDs or SSDs. Performing these actions might result in failure of the equipment or
drive.
● Before replacing an HDD or SSD, shutdown the OS, unplug the power cord, and wait for at
least one minute.
● Install or remove an HDD or SSD only when necessary, for example, when you need to
replace an HDD or SSD due to a failure. Performing these actions frequently might result in
failure of the equipment or drive.
● Fully insert HDDs or SSDs. Loose contacts or missing screws might result in failure.
● During installation or removal, do not subject an HDD or SSD that you are installing or an HDD
or SSD that is already installed to shocks. Subjecting an HDD or SSD to shocks might result in
drive failure.
