Caution: Only use Spectra-Logic-approved drives for replacement. To order new drives, see Contacting SpectraGuard Support on page 37.

Caution: Hard drives are extremely vulnerable once removed from an RXT media pack. Electro-static discharge (ESD) is a risk, and the drives are very susceptible to shock and vibration damage.

When handling the disk drives, be sure to use care.

Always set them down gently on flat surfaces, and place them flat-side-down to keep them from being knocked over.
