UNPACKING PROCEDURE
Visually inspect the shipping container prior to unpacking for any signs of damage to
the container or its contents (the carrier is responsible for any damage incurred during
shipment). The drive is a precision device and even a small drop onto any surface can
cause damage. Prior to opening the anti-static bag, it is recommended that the user
ground themself with a ground strap or by touching the PC chassis or other metal object.
Remove the drive from the anti-static bag and check it for damage. Place the drive on the
anti-static bag while configuring jumpers to avoid any electrostatic discharge. Save the
shipping container and packing material for possible use later.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Toshiba’s 2.5” HDDs are primarily used in notebook devices. Installation into
a notebook varies depending on the system manufacturer. Toshiba’s 2.5” drives that
are installed into a desktop PC require a 3.5” installation kit.
1. Determine mounting configuration (can be mounted in either a horizontal or vertical orientation).
2. Configure drive for system application.
3. When connecting the drive and host system with Serial ATA cable, use of a Serial
ATA 1.a specification compliant cable is recommended.
4. Refer to applicable manuals for software installation instructions.
