Before you begin
Precautions
Caution. Observe the following precautions to avoid
electrostatic damage to the internal autoloader.
•
Do not remove the drive from the antistatic bag until you
are ready to install it.
•
Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, touch
a grounded metal surface to discharge any static
electricity buildup from your body.
•
Hold the drive only by its edges and avoid direct contact
with any electronic components.
•
If you need to put down the drive, lay it on top of the
antistatic bag or place it inside the bag.
Unpacking and inspection
Although Seagate autoloaders are inspected and carefully
packaged at the factory, damage may occur during shipping.
Follow these steps for unpacking the autoloader.
1. Inspect the shipping container. Notify your shipper
immediately if you find any damage.
2. Place the shipping container on a flat, clean, stable
surface. Then carefully remove the contents and verify
the packing list. If parts are missing or the equipment is
damaged notify your Seagate representative.
3. Save the drive container and packing materials in case
you ever need to ship the drive.
