CAUTION
Protect the drive from static electricity by leaving it in its antistatic bag until you are
ready to install it. Before handling the drive, touch any unpainted metal surface to
discharge static electricity. When you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, handle it
only by the frame.
Do not touch
the electrical components. If you have to handle electrical components,
wear the antistatic strap. Place the drive on the antistatic bag whenever you set it down.
