Installing the Drive
Attention:
To avoid static electricity damage when handling the drive, use the following
precautions:
v
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build
around you.
v Always handle the drive carefully. Never touch exposed circuitry.
v
Prevent others from touching the drive.
v
Before unpacking and installing the drive into an enclosure, touch its
static-protective packaging to an unpainted metal surface on the enclosure
for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the packaging and
your body.
v
When possible, remove the drive from its static-protective packaging and
install it directly into an enclosure without setting it down. When this is
not possible, place the drive’s packaging on a smooth, level surface and
place the drive on the packaging.
v
Do not place the drive on the cover of the enclosure or on any other metal
surface.
The steps that follow describe how to install the drive into an enclosure.
Note: Depending on the type of enclosure, installation procedures may vary.
Before starting this installation, read these instructions and compare them to
the drive installation instructions for your enclosure.
