Removal From Static Shielding Bag
Before removing the drive from its static shielding bag:
Make sure that your work station is properly grounded.
Wear a properly grounded wrist strap with good skin contact.
Avoid contact with any component on the printed circuit board.
After attaching your wrist strap, gently remove the drive from the static shielding bag.
Handle the drive by the sides only; avoid touching the printed circuit board.
Handle the drive with the printed circuit board facing downward during installation.
Do not open the drive’s sealed compartment or remove the seals or any labels from the drive; this
will void the warranty.
Moving Precautions
If you need to move your computer, turn off the power to automatically unload the heads. This helps protect
the media and the heads from accidental damage due to vibration, moving, or shipping.
Hard Drive Installation
If your system does not support hot plugging (see “Hot Plug Support” on page.25), it must be turned off and
unplugged before installing your hard drive. This avoids the possibility of reversing the polarity of the power
connections and eliminating current surges that can damage either the drive or computer. Attach the SATA
power supply cable to the SATA device plug power connector. Both the SATA power and signal connector
are keyed to ensure proper insertion.
