6 Safety
The following chapter provides safety and regulatory information for the Ultrastar Data102.
6.1 Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can harm delicate components inside HGST products.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a discharge of stored static electricity that can damage equipment
and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can
result in complete or intermittent failures.
Wear an ESD wrist strap for installation, service and maintenance to prevent damage to components
in the product. Ensure the antistatic wrist strap is attached to a chassis ground (any unpainted metal
surface). If possible, keep one hand on the frame when you install or remove an ESD-sensitive part.
Before moving ESD-sensitive parts place them in ESD static-protective bags until you are ready to
install the part.
6.2 Optimizing Location
Failure to recognize the importance of optimally locating your product and failure to protect against
electrostatic discharge (ESD) when handling your product can result in lowered system performance
or system failure.
Do not position the unit in an environment that has extreme high temperatures or extreme low
temperatures. Be aware of the proximity of the unit to heaters, radiators, and air conditioners.
Position the unit so that there is adequate space around it for proper cooling and ventilation. Consult
the product documentation for spacing information.
Keep the unit away from direct strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, and electronic/electrical
equipment that generate electrical noise.
6.3 Power Connections
Be aware of the ampere limit on any power supply or extension cables being used. The total ampere
rating being pulled on a circuit by all devices combined should not exceed 80% of the maximum limit
for the circuit.
CAUTION The power outlet must be easily accessible close to the unit.
