2. Mechanics
In order to reduce noise the bonsaidrive does not have a fan. It is
very important that all the ventilation holes on the bottom, side and
top of the unit are kept free for air to circulate. Do not place the unit
on top of another unit which is hot.
Avoid mechanical shock to the unit especially when the unit is on and
the harddrive is running. Switch off the unit before resiting.
The front panel of the unit is removable and can be used as a remote
control in the studio (with the 5 meter cable provided).
On the left side of the unit is an 8 mm dia through hole behind which
is the fixing screw for the front panel.
Turn this screw clockwise, i.e. screw it in, to release the remote
panel and remove it form the main housing.
After the left side of the panel is released it can be swung open like a
door and removed.
When replacing the front panel into the main housing, first insert the
panel into the guide post on the right side swing the panel to close on
the left side and when the fixing screw head is opposite the hole, turn
the fixing-screw anticlockwise, i.e. screw out, to lock the panel.
