Installing the drive
Before starting this installation, read these instructions and compare them to the
drive installation instructions for your server.
4.1
Avoiding drive damage
To avoid static electricity damage when handling the drive, use the following
precautions:
●
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build around
you.
●
Always handle the drive carefully. Never touch exposed circuitry.
●
Prevent others from touching the drive.
●
Before unpacking and installing the drive into a server, 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.
●
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.
●
Do not place the drive on the cover of the enclosure or on any other metal
surface.
