WARNING:
When handling computer products, take care to
prevent components from being damaged by static electricity;
avoid working in carpeted areas. Handle hard drives only by their
edges and avoid touching connector traces and component pins.
WARNING:
If you do not cut off the edges of the shipping
support flush with the drive tray rails, the drive tray will not fit
properly in the enclosure, and the storage system may not work
reliably.
