Caution. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not perform-

ing depot repair will damage components and may
void the warranty.

All drive electronic assemblies are sensitive to
static electricity, due  to the electrostatically sensi-
tive devices used within the drive circuitry.
Although some devices such as metal-oxide semi-
conductors are extremely sensitive, all semicon-

ductors, as well as some resistors and capacitors, may be
damaged or degraded by exposure to static electricity.

Electrostatic  damage to electronic devices may be caused by
the direct discharge of a charged conductor or by exposure to
the static fields surrounding charged objects. To avoid damaging
drive electronic assemblies, observe the following precautions
when installing or servicing the drive:

• Ground yourself to the drive whenever the drive
electronics are or will be exposed. Connect your-
self to ground with a wrist strap (Seagate part
number 12263496). Connection may be made to
