3.6 Notes on Drive Handling
C156-E205-01EN 3-19
(3) Installation
a) Do not connect or disconnect the connectors or change the terminal settings
when the power is on.
b) Do not move the drive with the power on.
c) Eject the optical disk cartridge, lock the carriage securing the head, turn off
the power, then move the drive.
Device damage:
Be sure to turn on the power supply before
inserting your cartridge for the first time. It releases the device from
transport protection and enables you to insert the cartridge.
The device may be damaged if you insert the cartridge without
releasing the protection. From the next time, you don't need to turn
on the power supply beforehand.
Before moving the drive, remove the optical disk cartridge. If the
drive is moved with the optical disk cartridge loaded in it, the head
may move back and forth in the drive to damage the head or disk
and reading the data may fail.
(4) Packing
a) Before packing, remove the optical cartridge.
b) Store the drive in an antistatic plastic bag with desiccant (silica gel).
c) Use the same cushions and packaging supplied with the drive. If they are not
available, ensure that adequate shock absorbent material is used. In this case,
some method of protecting the printed circuit board surface and interface
connectors must be used.
d) Apply "UP" and "Handle With Care" labels to the outside of the package.
Figure 3.16 shows the single-unit packing style and the multiple-unit packing
style. (The form and material of the cushion may be changed.)
