Handling Precautions
Caution: Poor handling, physical impact or electrical shock
causes most premature hard disk drive failures.
• Set the drive down gently to prevent damage from
impact or vibration.
• Do not open the ESD bag containing the drive until
needed.
• Handle the drive carefully by the edges. Do not touch
the exposed printed circuit board or any electronic
components.
• Do not press on the top or bottom of the drive.
• Do not cover the drive’s breather hole.
Before handling the hard disk drive,
discharge any static
electricity
from yourself and your clothing. With one hand,
touch an unpainted, metal surface on your computer chassis,
then touch the ESD bag with the other hand. Remain in con-
tact with the chassis and the bag for a minimum of two sec-
onds.
