Handling precautions

•Disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Use a padded surface during installation to avoid damaging the drive.

•Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.

•Protect the drive from static discharge by making sure you are well grounded before touching the drive. We recommend wearing a grounded wrist strap (Seagate part number 12263496) throughout the installation process. Do not touch the connectors or any part of the printed circuit board.

•Always handle the drive by its edges or frame.

•Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or the top of the drive.

Electrostatic discharge protection

Caution. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not performing depot repair will damage components and may void the warranty.

All drive electronic assemblies are sensitive to static electricity due to the electrostatically sensitive devices used within the drive circuitry. Although some devices such as metal-oxide semi- conductors are extremely sensitive, all semiconductors, as well
