Hard Disk; What Is A Hard Disk; Handling Precautions - Fujitsu 5000 Series User Manual

6 Hard Disk

Your PC incorporates a built-in hard disk. This section outlines precautions to take when handling a
hard disk.

What is a hard disk?

A hard disk is used to save software and other data and
consists of a magnetic disk packed in a box as shown
on the right. A hard disk can save more data and can
read and write data faster than is possible with floppy
disks.

Handling precautions

To prevent malfunctions, note the following precautions regarding hard disks:
- Do not move or subject the PC to shock and/or vibration with its power on.
- Do not expose to extreme temperature changes.
- Do not place in areas exposed to direct sunlight or near heating units.
- Do not store in areas subjected to shock or vibration.
- Do not store in damp or dusty areas.
- Do not expose to a strong magnetic field.
- Do not disassemble or remodel.
- Do not get wet.
Point
- Because incorrect handling may destroy data in a hard disk, back up all necessary data.
- Because there is a difference in the storage capacity of same-type hard disks, back up data for
each file or segment, not for each hard disk.
