Electrostatic discharge protection
Caution. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not perform-
ing depot repair will damage components and may
void the warranty.
All drive electronic assemblies are sensitive to static electricity,
due to the electrostatically sensitive devices used within the
drive circuitry. Although some devices such as metal-oxide
semiconductors are extremely sensitive, all semiconductors, as
well as some resistors and capacitors, may be damaged or
degraded by exposure to static electricity.
Electrostatic damage to electronic devices may be caused by
the direct discharge of a charged conductor or by exposure to
the static fields surrounding charged objects. To avoid damaging
drive electronic assemblies, observe the following precautions
when installing or servicing the drive:
• Ground yourself to the drive whenever the drive electronics
are or will be exposed. Connect yourself to ground with a wrist
strap (Seagate part number 12263496). Connection may be
made to any grounded metal assembly. As a general rule,
remember that you and the drive electronics must all be
