Carefully examine the container for obvious shipping damage, such as: holes, signs of crushing, or

move the shipping container in the upright position indicated by the arrows on the container.

Remove the drive from the shipping container only for inspection or installation. Carefully open the
box. When removing the drive from the box, follow these precautions:
Grasp the drive by the sides only; avoid touching the circuit board components.
Gently place the drive on its antistatic bag on a clean, level, grounded work area.

Handle the drive by the sides only; avoid touching the printed circuit board.
Handle the drive with the printed circuit board facing downward during installation.
The unit should not be moved during drive activity.
The unit is not intended as a portable device.
Do not attempt to open the drive and service it yourself. Removing the cover may expose you to
harmful electrical voltages and will void the warranty.
To allow ventilation, do not block the air slots on the underside and rear of the enclosure.
Do not remove the tape seal or any labels from the drive; this will void the warranty.

If you need to move your computer, turn off the power to automatically unload the heads. Unloading
moves the heads to a safe, non-data landing zone where they lock into place. This helps protect the
media and the heads from accidental damage due to vibration, moving, or shipping.
