Although drives are inspected and carefully packaged at the factory, damage may
occur during shipping. Follow these steps while unpacking the drive:
1.
Visually inspect the shipping containers and notify your carrier immediately of
any damage.
2.
Place shipping containers on a flat, clean, stable surface; then carefully remove
and verify the contents against the packing list.
If parts are missing or the equipment is damaged, notify your Seagate
representative.
3.
Always save the containers and packing materials for a future reshipment.
