Removable drives are fragile components that must be handled 
with care. To prevent damage to the notebook, damage to a 
removable drive, or loss of information, observe the following 
precautions:

■

Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the 
notebook. If you are unsure whether the notebook is off or 
in hibernation, turn the notebook on, and then shut it down 
through the operating system.

■

Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, ensure that 
a diskette or disc is not in the drive and ensure that the optical 
drive tray is closed.

■

Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of 
static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the 
connector.

■

Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch 
of shock-proof foam.

■

Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.

■

After removing a hard drive, an optical drive, or a diskette 
drive, place it in a static-proof bag.

■

Avoid exposing a hard drive to products that have magnetic 
fields, such as monitors or speakers.

■

Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.

■

If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble pack 
mailer or other suitable form of protective packaging and label 
the package “FRAGILE: Handle With Care.”
