This section contains the specifications and instructi on s fo r con figuring
and mounting the drive.
2.1 Handling and static-discharge precautions
After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to
potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards. Observe the
following standard handling and static-discharge precautions:
Caution:
•The SeaShell™ replaces electrostatic discharge (ESD) bags. The
SeaShell package is a shock-ribbed, transparent cl amshell enclosure
that limits a drive’s exposure to ESD and also prote cts against external
shocks and stresses. The design permits attaching cables, software
loading and label/barcode scanning without removing the drive from
the SeaShell. This minimizes handling damage. Keep the d rive in the
SeaShell package until you are ready for installati on.
•The drive is enclosed in a black, flexible cover ca lled a SeaShield®. Do
not remove this permanent cover—it protects the drive fro m electro-
static discharge (ESD) and minor impact damage. Th e soft SeaShield
cover also includes installation instructions a nd jumper s ettings. Re-
moving the SeaShield voids the warranty.
•Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground
yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of a com puter that
is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist st rap
throughout the entire installation procedure.
•Handle the drive by its edges or frame
only
.
•The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with care. Do not press down
on the drive top cover.
•Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until you mount
it in the computer.
•Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.
•Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them
with additional labels. Removal voids the warranty. Some fa ctory-
installed labels contain information needed to servic e the drive. Other
labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination.
