Caution
• Do not pull the tab on the flex cable connector when lifting
the drive. Doing so will damage the flex cable; it is fragile
and has very little slack.
• Be careful not to damage the hard disk drive’s printed
circuit board when removing the drive. Handle the drive by
the edges and avoid touching the printed circuit board with
your hands or tools.
