This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.

After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD) hazards. Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions:

• Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESG) bag until you are ready for installation.

• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal 

chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap throughout the entire 
installation procedure.

• Handle the drive by its edges or frame only.

• The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with care. Do not press down on the drive top cover.

• Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until you mount it in the computer.

• Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.

• Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them with additional labels. Removal voids 

the warranty. Some factory-installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Other labels are 
used to seal out dirt and contamination.
