Tools Required
Unpacking and Inspecting the Disk Drive Unit
•
Antistatic mat and wrist strap
•
#2 Phillips screwdriver
1. Inspect the shipping container upon receipt of the disk drives, and look
for evidence of damage.
If the carrier's agent is not present when the container is opened, and the
contents are found to be damaged, keep all contents and packing materials
for the agent's inspection.
2. If there is no evidence of damage, carefully remove the package
containing the disk drive unit from the shipping container.
Save the carton and the packing material for possible later use.
Note – Always transport the disk drive unit in the antistatic bag from the
original packaging.
3. Attach the antistatic wrist strap to yourself and the power supply of your
system, and place the antistatic mat on a flat surface.
4. Remove the disk drive unit from the protective packaging and place it on
the antistatic mat with the disk drives face down and the bracket face up.
