ÄCAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to the personal computer or a drive:

■If you are inserting or removing a hard drive, exit all software

applications, shut down the operating system software, and turn off the personal computer. Do not remove a hard drive while the personal computer is on or in standby mode.

■Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector.

■Before traveling with, shipping, storing, or removing a drive other than a hard drive, make sure that no media, such as a diskette, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM, is in the drive and that the media tray is closed.

■Handle a drive carefully; do not drop it.

■Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive.

■Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products that have magnetic fields such as monitors or speakers.
