vibration. Be aware of the following precautions when unpacking and installing your
external storage product:
• Do not drop or jolt the device.
• Do not move the device during activity.
• To allow proper ventilation, do not block air slots located on the underside, top, or
rear of the enclosure. Do not stack any objects on top of the device that may block
ventilation.
• Do not attempt to open the drive’s case. This action voids the warranty.
