Caution
Any damage to the Spectra nTier Verde caused by failure to protect it from
electrostatic discharge (ESD) voids the Spectra nTier Verde warranty. To protect the
Spectra nTier Verde drives from damage:
Wear an anti-static wristband, properly grounded, throughout the procedure. If
a wristband is not available, touch a known grounded surface, such as the
unpainted metal chassis.
Leave the drive in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
Do not place the un-bagged drive on any metal surfaces.
