•Inspect drive for possible shipping damage. All claims of this type should be filed promptly with the trans- porter involved. Save original packing materials to be used when reshipping.

•Verify all parts listed on shipping bill are received with the equipment. Discrepancies or damage should be reported to the shipping company.

•When transporting or shipping a drive or system, please ensure that they are correctly packed in original Seagate approved (or equivalent) container and shipped via an air-ride carrier experienced in handling computer equipment.

Caution. The circuit assemblies and components contained in this equipment can be de- graded or destroyed by Electrostatic Over- stress (EOS) or by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).

Static electrical charges can accumulate quickly on personnel, clothing and synthetic materials. The electrostatic fields due to these charges when brought in close prox- imity to susceptible circuit assemblies and components, can result in degraded reliabil- ity or immediate failure of the affected com- ponent or assembly.
