NOTE: Travelstar Z7K500 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
using these hard drives.

 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.
