CHAPTER 4 SERVICE PROCEDURE
4.6 Hard disk drive
The factory-installed HDD (hard disk drive) is formatted and loaded with system soft-
ware, network drivers, and printer fonts. The HDD is also used to store spooled print jobs.
Available space on the HDD is displayed on the Control Panel.
If you replace the HDD with a new one, you will need to install system software on the
new HDD. (Spare HDDs are shipped without system software installed.)
4.6.1 Proper handling
Improper handling can damage the HDD. Handle the HDD with extreme care:
• Use proper ESD practices when grounding yourself and the iR-M2.
• Keep magnets and magnetic-sensitive objects away from the HDD.
• Do not remove the screws on top of the HDD. Loosening these screws voids the war-
ranty.
• Never drop, jar, bump, or put pressure on the HDD.
• Handle the HDD by its sides and avoid touching the printed circuit board.
• Allow the HDD to reach room temperature before installation.
HDD problems may be caused by the following:
• Loose or faulty connection
• Faulty ribbon cable
• Faulty hard disk drive
