Handling Disk Cartridges
Kaleidescape servers house disk cartridges that contain high-capacity hard
drives to store movies and music. Disk cartridges are shipped with the
server. Disk cartridges are pre-installed or packed in the shipping box
depending on the server.
Handling disk cartridges correctly is critical to prevent damage.
Shock and Vibration
Disk cartridges are sensitive mechanical devices susceptible to damage
from shock. Do NOT shake or rattle disk cartridges.
Damage to a disk cartridge is often difficult to detect and can cause sudden
drive failure. Protect disk cartridges from bumps and drops and always
transport or ship them in well-cushioned containers.
Note: Shipping containers designed to protect disk cartridges are available from
Kaleidescape.
Electrostatic Discharge
Avoid touching the exposed connector at the back of a disk cartridge. Static
electricity can damage the electronics inside the disk cartridge. Always store
and ship disk cartridges in an anti-static bag.
Hard Drive Handling Video
