bay that supports a variety of optional 12.7-mm removable drives.
CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to the computer or a drive:
If you are inserting or removing a hard drive, exit all software applications, shut down the
operating system software, and turn off the computer. Do not remove a hard drive while
the computer is on or in standby.
Before hanlding a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While
handling a drive, avoid touching the connector.
Before traveling with, shipping, storing, or removing a drive other than a hard drive, make
sure that no media, such as a CD ROM or DVD ROM, is in the drive and that the media
tray is closed.
Handle a drive carefully, do not drop it.
Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive.
Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products that have
