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. 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. Other
labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination.
