Handling precautions

Disc drives are extremely fragile. Do not drop or jar your drive.

Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.

Protect your dr ive from static dischar ge by making sure you are well grounded before touching the drive. We recommend wearing a grounded wrist strap throughout the installation process. Do not touch the connectors or any part of the printed circuit board.

Always handle the drive by its edges or frame.

Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or the top of the drive.

These CHS values support drive capacities up to 8.4 Gbytes.

4. Verify that LBA mode is enabled. Many BIOS use the logical block addressing (LBA) mode to access drives with capacities greater than 528 Mbytes. Most BIOS automatically set this mode during the auto-detection process.
