CD-ROM Drive
HP Series 6000
If you do not protect the CD-ROM drive against
electrostatic discharge, you may damage the CD-ROM drive
and void your warranty.
A static charge of 39,000 volts can be generated on a
carpeted floor. Such a voltage exceeds the limits of the
CD-ROM drive and can cause unsuccessful operation of
the product.
To ensure continuously successful operation of the
CD-ROM drive in a carpeted office environment,
Hewlett-Packard recommends the use of anti-static
mats and carpets with this product. Refer to the
Hewlett-Packard Computer Users Catalog, part number
5953-2450D, for a complete listing of static control
equipment, including anti-static mats and carpets.
Handle the CD-ROM drive with care. The CD-ROM
drive is susceptible to mechanical shock and vibration
until
it
is secured into the mass storage system chassis.
The mass storage system contains a BEND /flex* cable
that is used to distribute signals to the drives in the mass
storage system. When handling the BEND/flex cable,
do not crease, twist, or stress the cable or its connectors.
Also, make sure that the BEND/flex cable is at room
temperature when connecting or disconnecting any of its
cables. The BEND/flex cable tears easily when it is twisted.
When connecting a BEND/flex connector to another
connector, push directly from the back of the BEND/flex
connector and carefully push it onto the other connector.
