 Enviro nmental Specifications

• When using any of the PL’s optional devices, be sure to che ck that device’s specifica-

tions for any special conditi ons or cautions that may apply to its use.

• Be aware that not only does the HDD/SSD have a fi xe d l i fetime, but that accidents

can always occur. Therefore, be sure to back up your HDD/SSD’s data regularl y, or

prepare another HDD/SSD unit that can be used for backup.

• The Hard Disk lifetime given here may be reduced due to unforeseen environmental

factors, however, generally speaking, the disk should last for 20,000 hours (of opera-

tion) or approximately 5 years, whichever comes first at an operating temperature of

°C and 333 hours of operation per month. (HDD access frequency of 20% or less)

• Using the Hard Disk in an environment that is excessively hot and/or humid will

shorten the disk’s usage lifetime. A wet bulb temperature of 29

°C or less is recom-

mended. This is equivalent to the following data.

• In order to extend the li fetime of the hard disk, Pro-face recommends you set the

Windows

2000’s [C ontrol panel]-[Power Management option]-[Turn off hard disks]

selection or the Windows

XP’s [Control panel]-[Performance and Maintenance]-

[Power Management option]-[ Turn off hard disks] selection to turn the hard disk off

when the unit is not being operated. A setting of 5 minutes is recommended.

• Do not vibrate the hard disk continuously at the same f requency. Doing so may cause

the hard disk to reduce tr ansfer speeds or stop temporarily.

• Weight increases by about 1.4kg with a battery unit. Please refer to PL3000 Series Hardware

Manual for other specifications.
