To avoid damage to the drive, do not set it on a hard surface. Instead, set the drive on a
surface, such as a foam pad, that will sufficiently cushion it.
1 If you are replacing a hard drive that contains data you want to keep, back up your files before
you begin this procedure.
2 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 63.
