INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Be sure to read the following Installation Safety Instructions before proceeding
on to the actual installation steps. Damage could occur to your drive and
disk if these precautions are not followed. If for any reason you do not
understand these instructions, please contact a qualified computer technician
to install or assist in the installation.
Temperature Stabilization - Before removing the drive from its protective
plastic bag, ensure the drive has reached room temperature. This is
accomplished by allowing the drive to sit in its protective plastic bag in
the room environment for at least one hour.
ESD - This drive and its electronic components are sensitive to Electro
Static Discharge (ESD). Once the drive has been removed from its ESD
protective plastic bag, handle it only by its sides. Do not touch the Printed
Circuit Board. To prevent ESD problems, touch the metal chassis of the
computer before handling the computer’s hard drive and periodically
throughout the installation. If you are working in a cold and/or dry climate,
use an electrostatic discharge wristband. Your clothing generates static
electricity as well. Do not allow your clothes to come into direct contact
with the parts of the circuit board or the hard drive.
Shock - Dropping, jarring, or moving the drive while a disk is inserted
can cause catastrophic damage. Do not operate this drive when it is not
secured to your computer chasis.
Power - Always power off your system before installing or removing the
drive.
