Handling precautions/Electrostatic discharge protection
•Disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Handle the drive only by the edges or frame. Keep the drive in the protective SeaShellTM con- tainer until you are ready to install it to minimize handling damage.
•Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. While installing the drive, wear a wrist strap and cable connected to ground.
•Turn off the power to the host system during installation.
•Do not disassemble the drive; doing so voids the warranty. Return the entire drive for depot service if any part is defective.
•Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or to the top of the drive.
