CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to the personal computer or
a drive:
■ If you are inserting or removing a hard drive, exit all software
applications, shut down the operating system software, and turn off
the personal computer. Do not remove a hard drive while the
personal computer is on or in standby mode.
■ Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static
electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector.
■ Before traveling with, shipping, storing, or removing a drive other

CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM, is in the drive and that the media tray is
closed.
■ Handle a drive carefully; do not drop it.
■ Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive.
■ Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or
products that have magnetic fields such as monitors or speakers.
■ If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or
other suitable protective packaging and label the package “Fragile:
Handle with Care.”
