Installation
Damage
1. When dismounting the drive which is mounted on the system while
power is supplied to it.
• The drive to be dismounted must be separated from the loop.
Dismounting the drive which is not separated from the loop
may cause an unexpected error.
• If the drive is not separated from the loop, issue an LPB to the
drive from the initiator in a primitive sequence of the order
set.
• It is recommended to stop the spindle motor prior to this loop
separation operation. The spindle motor can be stopped by a
START/STOP command. It takes about 30 seconds for the
spindle motor to stop completely.
• Then, dismount the drive using the drive
mounting/dismounting mechanism, etc. of the system. If the
drive is dismounted while the spindle motor is running, special
care is required to avoid excessive vibration or shock to the
drive. It is recommended to stop the operation once the SCA
connector breaks off contact and wait until the spindle motor
stops (about 30 seconds) before dismount the drive.
• When storing or transporting the drive, put it in an antistatic
case (Fcell). (Shown in Section 5.1).
2. When dismounting the drive which is mounted on the system while
power is not supplied to it.
• Do not move the drive until the drive stops completely (about
30 seconds if the spindle motor was stopped by a
START/STOP UNIT command, and about 30 seconds after
powering-off when the power was simply turned off).
• Then, dismount the drive using the drive
mounting/dismounting mechanism, etc. of the system.
• When storing or transporting the drive, put it in an antistatic
case (Fcell). (Shown in Section 5.1).

Diagnostics and
Maintenance
Data loss
When the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command terminates with the CHECK
CONDITION status, the initiator must collect the error information
using the REQUEST SENSE command. The RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS command cannot read out the error information detected in
the self-diagnostics.

Caution
1. To avoid injury, do not touch the mechanical assembly during disk
drive operation.
2. Do not use solvents to clean the disk drive.
