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). Prior to opening the anti-static bag, it is recommended that the user ground
himself 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. Save the shipping
container and packing material for possible use later.

HANDLING AND MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

• Installation and mounting of these drives is specific to the application environment.

• Handle drive only by the edges. When handling or mounting, take care not to apply

any pressure to the top cover.

• Avoid subjecting the drive to excessive shock. Do not drop the drive, even a
small distance onto a tabletop or other hard surface can damage drive. When
mounting the drive, do so in such a fashion that the drive will be isolated from
excessive shock.

• Do not mount in an environment where the temperature of the drive’s top cover will
exceed 65°C. (During operation, the temperature of the top cover can rise 15°C
above ambient).

• Do not disassemble, modify or repair drive.

• A rattle heard when the drive is moved is normal and not a sign of failure.
