Preventing Damage to Removable Drives

Removable drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent
damage to the computer, damage to a removable drive, or loss of information,
observe these precautions:
•
Before removing a diskette drive, CD-ROM drive, or DVD drive, be sure that a
diskette or disc is not in the drive. Be sure that the CD-ROM or DVD tray is
closed.
•
Before handling a drive, be sure that you are discharged of static electricity.
While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector.
•
Handle drives on a work surface that has at least one inch of shockproof foam.
•
Do not drop drives from any height onto any surface.
•
Do not expose a hard drive to products, such as monitors or speakers, that have
magnetic fields.
•
Do not expose a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.
