storage solutions, which feature Serial ATA interface standards.
Caution: Your hard disk drive (HDD) is a precision device and even a small drop onto any surface can
cause damage. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can also damage the drive and other electronic equipment.
You should ground yourself prior to handling the drive.
UNPACKING PROCEDURE
Visually inspect the shipping container prior to unpacking for any signs of damage to the container or its contents (the
carrier is responsible for any damage incurred during shipment). Prior to opening the anti-static bag, it is recommended
that the user ground himself with a ground strap or by touching the PC chassis or other metal object. Remove the drive
from the anti-static bag and check it for damage. Place the drive on the anti-static bag while configuring the unit to avoid
any electrostatic discharge. Save the shipping container and packing material for possible use later.
DRIVE CONFIGURATION
The Serial ATA (SATA) interface drives provide easy installation and configuration. It is not normally necessary to set
any jumpers or other configuration options. There is no master/slave relationship with Serial ATA devices like there is
with parallel ATA.
BACKING UP DATA FILES
Before performing any hardware installation, back up your existing data. To avoid data loss, regularly back up the data
files on the hard disk drive.
