Chapter 2. Installing the drive
This is a customer setup unit. It is the customer's responsibility to install this
product.
Avoiding Drive Damage
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.
