NOTE: Travelstar 5K1000 hard drives feature Advanced Format technology. Advanced Format increases the physical
sector size on hard drives from 512 bytes to 4096 (4K) bytes, which increases drive capacities and improves error
correction capabilities. Please consult the Hitachi Advanced Format Drives page on our website for more information on
using these hard drives.

Handling precautions

 Set the drive down gently to prevent damage from impact or vibration.
 Handle the drive carefully by the edges. Do not touch the exposed printed circuit board or any electronic components.
 Do not press on the top or bottom of the drive.
 Before handling the drive, discharge any static electricity from yourself and your clothing. With one hand touch an

unpainted metal surface, then touch the ESD bag with the other hand. Remain in contact with the chassis and the bag
for a minimum of two seconds.

 Vibration, shock and static electricity to the drive will damage the precision parts. In particular, prevent vibration or

shock generated by dropping, knocking over or hitting the drive. Also, avoid touching the electrical components
directly, which can discharge electrostatic energy and damage the drive.
