6. Place the drive and carrier assembly on an antistatic surface of a table or a workbench so that
the drive handle and fingers overlap the edge of the table or the workbench (see Figure 17).
7. Using four screws of the appropriate size and length (not supplied), attach the carrier to the
drive.
CAUTION
Some specific hard disk drive designs require electrical isolation of the drive
from the chassis or other ground paths. These drives are usually clearly
labeled with this requirement on the drive. Full-height, 1.6-inch drives with
this requirement must have an electrical isolator like durable mylar tape
placed between the EMI/ESD grounding fingers and the top cover of the
drive. Failure to isolate this type of drive from the ground path will result in
unpredictable operation of the drive, including severely impacted
performance and data corruption.
