Caring for Drives
CAUTION:
To prevent loss of work and damage to the computer or
a drive:
■
If you are inserting or removing a hard drive, shut down
the computer. Do not remove a hard drive while the computer is
on or in Suspend (Standby) or Hibernation. To ensure that the
computer is not in Hibernation, turn the computer on, then shut
it down.
■
Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static
electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector.
For more information about preventing electrostatic damage,
refer to Appendix C.
■
Before traveling with, shipping, storing, or removing a drive other
than a hard drive, make sure that no media, such as a diskette,
CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or disk is in the drive and that the media tray
is closed.
■
Handle a drive carefully; do not drop it.
■
Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive.
■
Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or
products that have magnetic fields such as monitors or speakers.
■
If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer
or other suitable protective packaging and label the package
“Fragile: Handle With Care.”
