Application. Your drive is designed for IBM AT and compatible
personal computers, Sun, Macintosh and other SCSI systems.
Turn off the system power before attempting any installation.
Static discharge. Observe the following precautions:
•
Keep the drive in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to
complete the installation. Do not attach any cables to the drive
while it is in its static-shielded bag.
•
Handle the drive by its edges or frame.
•
Do not touch the I/O connector pins or the circuit board.
•
Before handling any components, put on a grounded wrist
strap, or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal
chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet.
•
Use antistatic padding on all work surfaces.
•
Avoid static-inducing carpeted areas.
Drive handling. The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with
care. Do not attach labels to any part of the drive.
Inspection. Once you are familiar with the handling precautions
listed above, inspect the drive. If it appears to be damaged, call
your distributor or dealer immediately.
Warranty. See your authorized Seagate
®
distributor or dealer.
Maintenance and repair. Seagate drives do not require mainte-
nance. The head/disc assembly is sealed; if you break the seal,
you void the warranty. Seagate customer service centers are the
only facilities authorized to repair Seagate drives. Seagate does
not sanction any third-party repair facilities.
Shipping. Keep your original box and packing materials for
transporting or shipping your drive. The box has a
Seagate
Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in a nonapproved
container voids the warranty. Call your authorized Seagate dis-
tributor to purchase additional boxes.
