Drive handling

CAUTION: Drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to the computer,
damage to a drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions:
Before removing or inserting a drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is off or
in Hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system.
Before handling a drive, be sure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid
touching the connector.
Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, be sure that a diskette or disc is not in the drive and be sure
that the optical drive tray is closed.
Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch of shock-proof foam.
Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.
After removing drive, place it in a static-proof bag.
Avoid exposing a drive to products that have magnetic fields, such as monitors or speakers.
Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.
If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble pack mailer or other suitable form of protective packaging
and label the package "FRAGILE."
