Caution. Observe the following precautions to avoid
electrostatic damage to the internal drive during
installation.

Do not remove the drive from the antistatic bag until you
are ready to install it.

Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag,
touch a grounded metal surface to discharge any static
electricity buildup from your body.
•
Hold the drive only by its edges and avoid direct contact
with any electronic components.

If you need to put the drive down, lay it on top of the
antistatic bag or place it inside the bag.
Installation Overview
Internal drive installation involves three main steps:
1.
Configuring the drive
2.
Mounting the drive
3.
Connecting the power and interface cables
Note: Internal Scorpion 40 drives come in different
configurations for mounting in 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch
drive bays. Drives configured for 5.25-inch bays are
identical to those used for 3.5-inch bays, but come
with mounting brackets and a wider face plate.
Installation procedures are the same for both drive
configurations.
