Handling
Static-Sensitive Drives
Warning: Fixed-disk drives and diskette drives are sensitive to static
electricity discharge. The drives are wrapped in antistatic bags to
prevent this damage.
Take the following precautions:
• Do not remove the antistatic bag from the drive until you are ready to
install the drive in the system unit.
• Do not grasp the center part of the fixed-disk drive when you are
handling the drive. The squeezing action could damage the circuit
board. Handle the drive by the frame only.
• Do not drop or lay the fixed-disk drive down roughly; that action may
permanently damage the drive.
