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 accom-
plished by allowing the drive to sit in its protective plastic bag in the room envi-
ronment 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 han-
dling 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 it is spinning can cause
catastrophic damage. Do not install this drive when it is not secured in place.
Power - Always power off your system before installing or removing the drive.
