Warning

Mounting Bracket

Attach an antistatic wrist strap before you begin this upgrade. As you remove options from your system, place them on an antistatic mat.

Static discharge can cause irreparable damage to options modules.

If you are upgrading a disk drive from a VAXstation 4000 Model 90/90A or a DECstation 5000 Model 240/260 to a DEC 3000 system, you must attach a mounting bracket provided in the accessory kit to each drive before installing it into your new system.

If you are upgrading a disk drive from a DEC 3000 Model 500/500X AXP, the correct mounting bracket is already attached.
