◦ Keep the ESD bag and any packing materials in case you must return a drive later.
◦ Always wear an ESD wrist strap grounded to an unpainted surface on your storage
enclosure chassis.
If a wrist strap is unavailable, touch an unpainted surface on your storage enclosure chassis
before handling the drive.
• Handle drives carefully:
◦ Always use two hands when removing, installing, or carrying a drive.
◦ Never force a drive into a shelf, and use gentle, firm pressure to completely engage the
drive latch.
◦ Place drives on cushioned surfaces, and never stack drives on top of each other.
◦ Do not bump drives against other surfaces.
◦ Before removing a drive from a shelf, unlatch the handle and wait 30 seconds for the drive
to spin down.
◦ Always use approved packaging when shipping drives.
• Avoid magnetic fields:
◦ Keep drives away from magnetic devices.
Magnetic fields can destroy all data on the drive and cause irreparable damage to the drive
circuitry.
