CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to the computer or a drive:
■
Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static
electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector.
■
Before traveling with, shipping, storing, or removing a drive other than
a hard drive, make sure that no media, such as a diskette, CD-ROM,
or DVD-ROM, is in the drive and that the media tray is closed.
■
Handle a drive carefully: do not use excessive force when inserting it,
do not drop it, and do not press on the top cover.
■
Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or
products that have magnetic fields such as monitors or speakers.
■
If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or
other suitable protective packaging and label the package "Fragile:
Handle with Care."
