Protect the hard disk drive from static electricity by leaving it in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it. Before handling the drive, touch any unpainted metal surface to discharge static electricity. When you remove the hard disk drive from its anti-static bag, handle it only by the frame. DO NOT TOUCH the electrical components. Place the drive on the anti-static bag whenever you set it down. Care of Hard Disk Drives HP hard disk drives are delicate and are very sensitive to shocks or vibration. When installing a hard disk accessory, be careful not to drop or knock the drive. Any shock may damage the drive and prevent it from functioning correctly. Hard disk drives already installed in a PC are also sensitive to shocks. If the PC's system unit is knocked or dropped accidentally, this may cause damage to installed hard disk drives. 2 English
