CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to the Personal Computer or a drive:
■ If you are inserting or removing a hard drive, exit all software applications, shut down the
operating system software, and turn off the Personal Computer. Do not remove a hard drive
while the Personal Computer is on or in standby mode.
■ Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a
drive, avoid touching the connector. For more information about preventing electrostatic
damage, see the Troubleshooting Guide.
■ Before traveling with, shipping, storing, or removing a drive other than a hard drive, make
sure that no media, such as a diskette, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM, is in the drive and that the
media tray is closed.
■ Handle a drive carefully; do not drop it.
■ Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive.
■ Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products that have magnetic
fields such as monitors or speakers.
■ If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or other suitable protective
packaging and label the package “Fragile: Handle with Care.”
