The following guidelines and cautions apply to handling and installing the Scorpion
24 internal drive. Keep them in mind as you install the drive.
z
Internal drives contain some exposed components that are sensitive to static
electricity. To reduce the possibility of damage from static discharge, the drives
are shipped in a protective antistatic bag.
z
Do not remove the drive from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
z
Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, touch a metal or grounded
surface to discharge any static electricity buildup from your body.
z
Hold the drive by its edges only, and avoid direct contact with any exposed
parts of the printed circuit board (PCB).
z
While not installed, always lay the drive either on top of the antistatic bag or
place it inside of the bag to reduce the chance of damage from static discharge.
