Prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD)
– Keep the drive in the ESD bag until you are ready to install it.
– Do not insert a metal tool or knife into the ESD bag. Open the ESD bag by hand or
cut the top off with a pair of scissors.
– 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 unit. 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, 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.
