Support Note:

We recommend that you make a backup of important

information on your system’s current hard drive(s) 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 an
unpainted 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 electrical com-
ponents only by their edges, and avoid touching connector traces and compo-
nent pins.
