2.0 Configuring and mounting the drive

This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.

2.1 Handling and static-discharge precautions

After you unpack the drive, and before you install it in a system, be careful not to damage it through mishandling. Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions:

Caution:

∙Keep the drive in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to complete the installation. Do not attach any cables to the drive while it is in its static-shielded bag.

∙Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap throughout the entire installation procedure.

∙Handle the drive by its edges or frame only.

∙The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with care. Do not press down on the drive top cover.

∙Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until you mount it in the computer.

∙Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.

∙Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them with additional labels. Removal voids the warranty. Some factory-in- stalled labels contain information needed to service the drive. Other labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination.
