| unpainted | surface | on | the | computer. | Ground | yourself | again | after |
| ||||||||
| leaving | and | returning | to | your | work | area. |
|
|

4. | Always | handle | the | drive | by its edges. Do not touch | any | exposed | |||||||||||
| printed | circuitry, | components, | or | connector | pins. |
|
|
|
| ||||||||

| ||||||||
| handling | can | damage | the | components | inside | the | drive | housing. |
| ||||||||
6. | If | you | must | put | the | drive | down, | place | the | antistatic | bag | on a flat | ||||||
| padded | surface, | such | as | a magazine, | and | place | the | drive | on the | ||||||||

| unpack | the | drive. |
|
|
|
| ||||
