Cleaning

D–2
Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or
cleaning the MultiBay.
■
Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static
electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector.
■
Before traveling with, shipping, storing, or removing a drive
other than a hard drive, make sure that no media, such as a
diskette, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM, is in the drive and that the
media tray is closed.
■
Handle a drive carefully: do not use excessive force when
inserting it, do not drop it, and do not press on the top cover.
■
Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or
products that have magnetic fields such as monitors or speakers.
■
If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer
or other suitable protective packaging and label the package
"Fragile: Handle with Care."
■
To prevent damage to the computer, the drive, and any data stored
on the drive: If you are inserting or removing a hard drive, shut
down the computer. Never remove a hard drive while the
computer is on or on standby. To ensure that the computer is not
on standby, turn the computer on, then shut it down.
■
Before removing an optical or diskette drive, stop the drive by
using the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the Windows XP
task bar or the Unplug or Eject Hardware icon on the Windows
2000 task bar. Restart the system to ensure the optical drive
functions correctly with the software applications.
■
Clean the panel and controls with a soft, dry cloth or a soft cloth
lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Never spray
cleaning fluids directly on the unit.
■
Avoid using any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzene,
which may damage the finish.
