2.0 Configuring and mounting the drive
This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring
and mounting the drive.
2.1 Handling and static-discharge precautions
After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to
potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards. Observe the
following standard handling and static-discharge precautions:
Caution:
•
The SeaShell
SeaShell package is a shock-ribbed, transparent clamshell enclosure
that limits a drive's exposure to ESD and also protects against external
shocks and stresses. The design permits attaching cables, software
loading and label/barcode scanning without removing the drive from
the SeaShell. This minimizes handling damage. Keep the drive in the
SeaShell package until you are ready for installation.
•
Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground
yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of a computer that
is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap
throughout the entire installation procedure.
•
Handle the drive by its edges or frame only .
•
The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with care. Do not press down
on the drive top cover.
•
Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until you mount
it in the computer.
•
Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.
•
Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them
with additional labels. Removal voids the warranty. Some factory-
installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Other
labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination.
