Drives Ä CAUTION: To prevent loss or damage to the notebook or a drive: ■ Handle a drive carefully. Do not drop it. ■ Excessive force can damage drive connectors. When you insert a drive, use only enough force to seat the drive. ■ Do not spray a drive with cleaning fluid or other liquid or expose it to temperature extremes. ■ Do not remove the primary hard drive (the hard drive in the hard drive bay) except for repair or replacement. ■ Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent electrostatic damage to the notebook or a drive: ❏ Discharge yourself from static electricity before handling a drive by touching a grounded metal object; and ❏ Avoid touching the connectors on a drive. ❏ For more information about preventing electrostatic damage, refer to the Regulatory and Safety Notices guide on the Documentation Library CD. ■ Avoid exposing a drive or a diskette to devices with magnetic fields. Security devices with magnetic fields include airport walk-through devices and security wands. The airport security devices that check carry-on luggage, usually while it is placed on a conveyor belt, use x-rays instead of magnetism and will not damage a drive or a diskette. ■ If you mail a drive, ship it in packaging that protects it from shock, vibration, temperature, and high humidity. Label the package "FRAGILE." ✎ Airport security devices that check carry-on luggage placed on a conveyor belt use x-rays instead of magnetism and will not damage a hard drive. 4-2 Hardware Guide

CAUTION:
To prevent loss or damage to the notebook or a drive:
■
Handle a drive carefully. Do not drop it.
■
Excessive force can damage drive connectors. When you insert a
drive, use only enough force to seat the drive.
■
Do not spray a drive with cleaning fluid or other liquid or expose it
to temperature extremes.
■
Do not remove the primary hard drive (the hard drive in the hard
drive bay) except for repair or replacement.
■
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components.
To prevent electrostatic damage to the notebook or a drive:
❏
Discharge yourself from static electricity before handling a
drive by touching a grounded metal object; and
❏
Avoid touching the connectors on a drive.
❏
For more information about preventing electrostatic damage,
refer to the

Avoid exposing a drive or a diskette to devices with magnetic
fields. Security devices with magnetic fields include airport
walk-through devices and security wands. The airport security
devices that check carry-on luggage, usually while it is placed
on a conveyor belt, use x-rays instead of magnetism and will not
damage a drive or a diskette.
