Handling precautions

Disc drives are extremely fragile. Do not drop or jar your drive.

Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.

Protect your drive from static discharge by making sure you are well grounded before touching the drive. We recommend wearing a grounded wrist strap throughout the installation process. Do not touch the connectors or any part of the printed cir- cuit board.

Always handle the drive by its edges or frame.

Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or the top of the drive.
