Handling Precautions
DO ground yourself before handling
the drive to avoid the risk of expos-
ing it to electrostatic discharge.
Use a grounding strap or touch a metal
part of your computer's case when your
system is powered down AND connected
to an electrical outlet.
Installing the Mounting Brackets
The included mounting brackets can be
used to mount your drive in a standard
5.25-inch device bay. It is not necessary
to use the brackets if you are installing
your drive in a 3.5-inch device bay. If you
have questions about the kind of device
bays your computer has, please refer to
your computer user manual.
To install your drive in a 5.25-inch device
bay using the brackets, please perform
the following steps:
1. Turn off your computer. Be sure to
leave the power cord plugged into
your computer and an electrical outlet
to ensure proper grounding. Remove
the cover from your computer as indi-
cated in your computer user manual.
2. Align the screw holes on one of the
included U-shaped mounting brackets
with the screw holes on either side of
the drive (see figure below). The short
side of the bracket should face inward
against the drive.
3. Using two of the included screws,
attach the bracket to the drive.
Warning: Using any screws except those
supplied may cause damage to your drive
or system.
