Chapter 2. INSTALLATION

Before setting up the SMO-F551 Magneto-Optical disk drive, be sure to check that all
required components and accessories are present.

Component and Accessory Check List

Upon opening the carton, check that all the following items are provided:
• SMO-F551 Magneto-Optical Disk Drive
• Short Socket for Functional Switch (5 pieces)

Installation Requirements

This section provides information on the installation of the drive.

Location Requirements

SMO-F551 must be operated in a well-ventilated area, ideally in an air-conditioned
room. The temperature and relative humidity should be between 5 to 45 °C (41 to
113 °F) and between 10 to 90 %, respectively.
The drive may be placed horizontally or vertically on a flat and stable surface. The
maximum permissible mounting tilt is 10 degrees for the bottom placed surface.
Neither the drive nor the disk cartridge should be placed at a location subject to dust,
continuous vibration and/or shock. Any place close to a strong magnetic field must
be avoided, too. Since moisture condensation may cause serious problems for both
the drive and the disk cartridge, avoid sudden changes in temperature and/or
humidity.
The drive must not be moved with a disk cartridge inserted.
