2.0 Configuring and mounting the drive
This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring
and mounting the drive.
2.1 Handling and static-discharge precautions
After you unpack the drive, and before you install it in a system, be careful
not to damage it through mishandling or static discharge. Wool and
synthetic clothing, carpet, plastic and styrofoam are contributors to static
charge buildup. This charge is released when you touch another conduc-
tor and can damage sensitive components in the drive. Observe the
following standard handling and static-discharge precautions:
Caution:
•
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.
•
Before handling the drive, 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. Wear a grounded wrist strap
throughout the entire installation procedure.
•
Handle the drive by its edges or frame only.
•
The drive is extremely fragile----handle it with care. Do not press down
on the drive top cover.
•
Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until you mount
it in the computer.
•
Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.
Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them
with additional labels. Removal voids the warranty. Some factory-in-
stalled labels contain information needed to service the drive. Others are
used to seal out dirt and contamination.
