Precautions
Handling the hard disk drive
Your Home Server includes a hard disk drive (a 
storage device for applications and data). When 
the hard disk drive fails for some reason, Sony 
assumes no liability for restoring data stored on 
the hard disk drive. To avoid loss of data, observe 
the following:
Do not use your Home Server on an unstable 
surface or a place subject to vibration.
Do not move your Home Server while powered.
Do not expose your Home Server to any 
physical shocks.
Do not turn off or restart your Home Server 
while data writing or reading is in progress.
Do not use your Home Server in a place with 
sudden changes of 50ºF (10ºC) or more in 
temperature.
Keep any objects with magnetic fields, such as a 
TV, speakers, a magnet, and a magnetic 
bracelet, away from your Home Server.
Do not remove the built-in hard disk drive 
from your Home Server.
Making backup copies of the hard disk 
drive
The hard disk drive is capable of storing an 
extremely large amount of data, but can easily be 
damaged and can lose the data. To avoid losing 
critical data, it is recommended that you make 
backup copies of the hard disk data on a regular 
basis. For detailed instructions on making and 
restoring  backup data, see “Making Backup 
Copies” on page 49. Sony assumes no liability for 
loss of data.
Handling your Home Server
Do not expose your Home Server to any 
physical shocks or drop the Home Server, as it 
may cause loss of data or a malfunction.
Do not place your Home Server in a location 
subject to direct sunlight or heat sources where 
the ambient temperature rises, as it may cause a 
malfunction.
Do not put any small metal objects, such as 
paperclips, into your Home Server.
Do not use your Home Server on an unstable 
surface or a place subject to vibration.
Your Home Server is a high-precision device. 
Do not use the Home Server in a place subject 
to dust, as it may cause a malfunction.
Do not use your Home Server in a place subject 
to high humidity.
Do not use your Home Server in a place with 
poor ventilation.
Do not use your Home Server in close 
proximity of magnetic sources, as it may cause a 
malfunction.
Moisture condensation
Exposing your Home Server to a sudden 
temperature rise, such as bringing the Home 
Server suddenly from a cold place to a warmer 
place or using it in a heated room on a winter 
morning, will cause moisture condensation on the 
surface or in the interior of the Home Server, 
which may result in a malfunction.
When you find moisture condensation on your 
Home Server, wipe it off with tissue paper, 
preferably. When the LCD tubes and surface are 
cold, moisture condensation will form again after 
you wipe it off. Leave the Home Server for about 1 
hour without turning it on until it warms up to the 
ambient temperature.
