Protective Earth — Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive devices. Avoid handling
any hard drive in high static environments such as carpeted areas and when synthetic fiber clothing is
worn. Touch the chassis to dissipate static charge before removing hard drives from the system, and
exercise proper grounding precautions when working around the XPression system.
