6.3.7 Installing and removing an HDD or SSD

When you install or remove a HDD or SSD, make sure you do not cut your
fingers on the protrusions.
Put the HDD or SSD on a shock-absorbing material such as an antistatic

cushion even for a temporary task. If you put an HDD or SSD directly on a hard
surface such as a desktop, a failure or a shorter life span of the unit or loss of
data may result due to possible jarring or shock.
Never remove the screws on an HDD or SSD while the power to the unit is on.

Never hot-swap HDDs or SSDs. If you do either of these, failure of the
equipment or the drive may result.
Before you replace an HDD or SSD, make sure you shut down the OS, unplug

the power cord from the outlet, and wait for at least one minute.
Install or remove an HDD or SSD only if necessary, for example, when you

need to replace an HDD or SSD due to failure. If you do it frequently, failure of
the equipment may result.
Fully mount an HDD or SSD. Loose contact and missing screws may result in

failure.
Do not give a shock to an mounting HDD or SSD and the already mounted

HDD or SSD during installing. If you give a shock to an HDD or SSD, failure of
the drive may result.
