Support Notes:
We recommend that you make a backup of
important information on your system’s current hard drives prior
to installing new hardware or software.
When handling computer products, you must take care to prevent
components from being damaged by static electricity. Before opening
your computer or removing parts from their packages, always ground
yourself first by touching a metal part of the computer, such as a port
access cover, and work in an area free of static electricity; avoid carpeted
areas. Handle all electronic components only by their edges, and avoid
touching connector traces and component pins. Also, avoid touching
the logic board and any of its components.
