Caring for Drives

Hardware Upgrades and Replacements

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

■Do not remove the internal hard drive except for repair or replacement. For instructions, refer to the “Replacing the Internal Hard Drive” section next in this chapter.

■Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent electrostatic damage to the notebook or a drive, follow these 2 precautions: (1) Discharge yourself from static electricity

before handling a drive by touching a grounded metal object and

(2) Avoid touching the connectors on a drive. For more information

about preventing electrostatic damage, refer to the “Electrostatic Discharge” chapter in Regulatory and Safety Notices guide.

■Excessive force can damage drive connectors. When you insert a drive, use only enough force to seat the drive.

■Handle a drive carefully. Do not drop it.

■Avoid exposing a hard drive or a diskette to devices with magnetic fields. Products with magnetic fields include video and audio tape erasure products, monitors, and speakers. Security devices with magnetic fields include airport walk-through devices and security wands. The airport security devices that check carry-on luggage, usually while it is placed on a conveyor belt, use x-rays instead of magnetism and will not damage a hard drive or a diskette.

■Do not spray a drive with cleaning products.

■Avoid exposing a drive to liquids or temperature extremes.

■If you mail a drive, ship it in packaging that protects it from shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Label the package “FRAGILE.”
