HardDriveHandlingPrecautions

◆If the handling precautions are not followed, damage to the hard drive may result - which may void the warranty.

◆During handling, NEVER drop, jar, or bump a drive. Handle the drive by its sides and avoid touching the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA).

◆Hard drives are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Use proper ESD practices by grounding yourself and the computer system the hard drive will be installed in.

◆Allow the hard drive to reach room temperature BEFORE installing it in your computer system.

◆NEVER switch DC power onto the drive by plugging an electrically live DC source cable into the drive's connector. NEVER connect a live connector to the hard drive's IDE interface connector.

◆ELECTRICAL GROUNDING - For proper operation, the drive must be securely fastened to a device bay

that provides a suitable electrical ground to the drive baseplate.

Electro-StaticDischarge(ESD)

To avoid some of the problems associated with ESD, Maxtor advises that anyone handling a disk drive use a wrist strap with an attached wire connected to an earth ground. Failure to observe these precautions voids the product warranty.

Manufacturers frequently experience “unsolved” component/hardware malfunctions often caused by ESD. To reduce the incidence of ESD-related problems, Maxtor recommends that any electronics manufacturing plans include a comprehensive ESD program, the basic elements and functions of which are outlined here:
