Handling Precautions
These drives are precision instruments and must be handled with care during
unpacking and installation. Drives may be damaged by rough handling, shock, or
vibration. Be aware of the following precautions when unpacking and installing your
external storage product:
Do not drop or jolt the device.
Do not move the device during activity.
To allow proper ventilation, do not block air slots located on the underside, top, or
rear of the enclosure if present. Do not stack any objects on top of the device that
may block ventilation.
Do not stack heavy objects on top of the device.
Do not attempt to open the drive’s case. This action voids the warranty.
Do not remove any cables without properly disconnecting the drive through the
operating system.
