Handling precautions

Disc drives are extremely fragile. Do not drop or jar
your drive.

Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are
ready to install it.

Protect your drive from static discharge by making
sure you are well grounded before touching the
drive. We recommend wearing a grounded wrist
strap throughout the installation process. Do not
touch the connectors or any part of the printed cir-
cuit board.

Always handle the drive by its edges or frame.

Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit
board or the top of the drive.
