Handling precautions
Set the drive down gently to prevent damage from impact or vibration.
Handle the drive carefully by the edges. Do not touch the exposed printed circuit board or any electronic components.
Do not press on the top or bottom of the drive.
Before handling the drive, discharge any static electricity from yourself and your clothing. With one hand touch an
unpainted metal surface, then touch the ESD bag with the other hand. Remain in contact with the chassis and the bag for a
minimum of two seconds.
Vibration, shock and static electricity to the drive will damage the precision parts. In particular, prevent vibration or shock
generated by dropping, knocking over or hitting the drive. Also, avoid touching the electrical components directly, which
can discharge electrostatic energy and damage the drive.
