Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

Before handling a drive, discharge static electricity by
touching the unpainted metal surface or lug nuts on the
connectors on the back of the notebook.
■
Avoid touching connector pins on the notebook, a drive, or a
drive adapter.
Installing Internal Components

Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until
you are ready to install them.

that you do not have to leave the area after beginning the
installation.
