Installation; Handling The Drive - Lenovo Serial Hard Drive Bay Adapter User Manual

Installation

This section provides information on installing a supported hard disk drive
into your Ultrabay media bay using the ThinkPad Serial Hard Drive Bay
Adapter.
Note: The adapter supports only the 2.5-in. ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Disk
Drive. It does not support ThinkCentre
hard disk drives or hard disk drives from other companies.

Handling the drive

To protect the hard disk drive during installation, observe the following
precautions:
v Keep the drive in its static-protective bag until you are ready to install the
drive in your ThinkPad computer. If you must put the drive down, place the
static-protective bag on a flat, padded surface, and place the drive on the
bag with the component side facing up.
v Handle the drive with care. Dropping or jarring the drive can damage the
components inside the drive housing.
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity buildup.
v Do not subject the drive to physical shocks.
v Handle the drive by the edges.
v Do not touch any exposed components on the drive.
v Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive.
Attention
The drive is very sensitive. Incorrect handling can cause damage and
permanent loss of data on the hard disk.
