WARNING:
ESD Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the processor, hard drives, main board, memory modules (RAM), and other
BlackArmor components. Always observe the following precautions before replacing a hard drive:
Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
●
Do not touch the component pins, leads, or circuitry.
●
Wear a wrist grounding strap and attach it to a metal part of the system before handling components. If a wrist
●
strap is not available, maintain contact with the system throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.
Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam packing.
