CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to the computer or a
drive:
■
When the computer is plugged into an AC power source,
voltage is always applied to the system board. You must
disconnect the power cord from the power source before
opening the computer to prevent system board damage.
■
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."
