Handling hard drives
CAUTION:
Take proper precautions when handling hard drives to prevent loss of work and damage to the
computer or drive.
●
Do not remove hard drives from the shipping package for storage. Keep hard drives in their protective
packaging until they are mounted in the computer.
●
Always shut down the operating system, turn off the power, and unplug the power cord. Never remove a
drive while the computer is on or in standby mode.
●
Before handling a drive, be sure that you discharge static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid
touching the connector.
●
Handle a drive carefully. Do not drop it from any height.
●
Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive.
●
Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products that have magnetic fields
such as monitors or speakers.

If you must mail a drive, use a bubble-pack mailer or other protective packaging and label the package
“Fragile: Handle With Care.”
