Drives Drive Care Drives are fragile notebook components that must be handled with care. The following cautions apply to all drives. Additional cautions are included with the procedures to which they apply. 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. ❏ Avoid touching the connectors on a drive. For more information about preventing electrostatic damage, refer to the Regulatory and Safety Notices guide on the Notebook Documentation disc. ■ 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." 5-2 Hardware and Software Guide
