Precautions When Using the Installed Hard Disk Drive
1. The hard disk drive has extremely high precision and is vulnerable to shock and vibration. If
transporting the DR16pro by either land or air, we recommend packing it in a shell-shaped
case lined with urethane rubber which meets ATA specifications.
2. Make sure the DR16pro is used in the horizontal position. Do not set it on end or tilt it when
using it.
3. If the DR16pro is moved from a cold location to a warm one, or if the temperature has been
raised suddenly, condensation may form inside the DR16pro. If it is impossible to avoid con-
ditions like these, let the DR16pro sit for at least an hour in the new location before using it.
4. When setting up the DR16pro, make sure the ventilation opening is not blocked. Also, if using
the DR16pro in a rack that contains other equipment, make sure sufficient ventilation space is
assured on all sides (approx. 44 mm of space between the DR16pro and any equipment
mounted above or below it in the rack).
