• 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.
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.
